I have been at it for about 2 hours and really cannot figure it out, tell me it's me being stupid!
1.With RIGHT sides together, pin the center back seam of the crown, matching notches. Stitch in a 1/2" seam and press open. Machine stitch 1/2" from single-notched edge of crown. Clip to machine stitching.

I'm going to make another hat later today and I'll try to take pictures of each step.

Thank you so much for your help, I did it that way as I found this on the web: http://hippiepunk.wordpress.com/tag/bucket-hat/ and this is the result, I think she is going to love it as she adores pinks n purples/lilac.

I thought she would like the Yo yo but I put it on so she didn't wear it back to front and show the seams :oops:
Quiltinvca thank you so much for sharing this as I know there will be a lot of members who can find uses for such a useful, n pretty hat.

Your hat is darling. Love the idea of a yoyo; very cute idea that I intend to copy.
I hope others will post pictures of their hats -- never thought a silly hat would generate so much interest!

quiltinvca, that is how I did it, in the end after hours looking at that stupid pattern, or was it me being stupid :oops:
Also when I turned them the right side out and stitched up the hole I did two rows of stitching on the rim, 1/4" apart to "set" it and give it a bit of extra stiffness.
I think also, on my next one, which I am making today, I will put a button or just a stitch on the top so they don't wrinkle up in the wash, what do you think?
