This intermediate sewing pattern provides you with the opportunity to create two unique hat styles. The first style is a wide-brimmed sun hat, perfect for shielding you from the sun's rays. The second style is a flipped-up bird's nest hat, inspired by the fashionable headwear of the 1910s, as seen in the popular TV series "Downton Abbey" during its second season.
