This is a quick tutorial for what I call an “Eddie Cap”- that’s Eddie up there ^ . I still consider myself a new sewer so I’m sure there are many other and better ways to accomplish some of these steps, but this is how I do it. 😉
In this tutorial, I will be sewing a cap which will fit a 4-6 year old. I will try to point out the steps that you will need to adjust if you are making a smaller or larger cap.
Okay, now get your stuff together:
- A little less than ½ yard medium to heavy weight cotton, canvas or as in this tutorial, I used wool.
- Lightweight Interfacing for bill and one band
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Chalk or something temporary to mark the fabric
- Pins
- Sewing machine with matching thread (with a Walking Foot if you have one, but it’s not necessary)
- Iron
Seam allowances are ½” unless directed otherwise.
This tutorial is meant for personal use. Please do not sell Eddie Caps made from this tutorial.
Ready? Here we go:
1. Measure the largest part of the head for your cap to get your circumference. For my boys, their heads are about 21″.
2. Cut out your pieces:
- Cut two bands– the length of both bands will be the circumference of your head + 1″ ease + 1″ seam allowances. So for my hats, it was 21″ + 1″ + 1″ = 23″ inches for my band lengths. For the widths, one band should be 2″ x 23″ for the inside of the cap and the other should measure 2 ½” x 23″ for the outside band.
- Cut two rectangles measuring 8½” x 5″.
- Cut one 12″ square.
3. Make your 12″ square into an octagon with 5″ sides:
- Measure 3½” in both horizontally and vertically from each corner and mark.
- Connect your marks at each corner using your ruler to form a triangle.
- Check your work to be sure all your sides will be about 5″ before cutting.
- Cut off triangles at each corner. Viola! You have your octagon.
Please note that this is not a “perfect” octagon, but that it’s sides are about 5″.
(I think this size octagon should work for one size smaller or larger caps ranging in head circumferences of +/- 1 inch.)
4. Make your bill:
- Stack you rectangles making sure everything is lined up.
- Fold rectangles in half long-wise so that it measures 4¼” x 5″.
- Draw a wide curve starting about 2 inches up from the bottom at the side edge and ending at the top of the fold.
- Cut on your line.
- Open and make any adjustments for the shape of bill you desire.
- Apply interfacing. (The type of interfacing here will depend on how stiff you want your bill. For mine, I like the softer look so I used lightweight stuff that was fusible for easy application. Also, I applied it to only one piece which I will use as the top of the bill.)
5. Sew bill:
- With right sides together, stitch around outside curved edge leaving the bottom straight edge open.
- Trim seam and clip at curves.
- Turn and press making sure all seams are pushed out. (I like to use a chopstick.)
- Topstitch if desired. (I’ve tried both with and without, but prefer 3 to 4 rows of topstitching for a more finished look.)
- Cut a curve across bottom open edge to somewhat match the top curve of the bill and set aside. * After making these a few more times, I’ve found that you should be cutting off a lot here. In the middle of the bill- the middle of your arch, the bill should only measure about 3″ wide and 4″ wide at the ends. Otherwise, your bill will be too long and floppy.
6. Now for the bands:
- Apply interfacing to the wider, 2½” x 23″ Outside band. (For this, I like to use lightweight double-sided interfacing to help keep the hemming in place on Step 11.)
- Sew each band together at sides to make 2 circles. Press seams open. Be sure right sides are together and for the interfaced band, the interfacing should be on the inside.
- Overcast, zigzag or pink along one long edge of the 2″ x 23″ Inside band.
7. Next, find your bill and baste bill to interfaced band, right sides together, making sure the band seam is in the back.
8. Sew together bands at bottom edge sandwiching bill making sure right sides are together and the band seams are lined up in the back. For the Inside band, make sure the edge you finished in Step 6 is free and is NOT the edge that is sewn together to the Outside band. (The finished edge will be flipped up into the cap and sewn onto the top portion of the cap once it’s all put together.)
In this photo above, the bands are pinned with right sides together. Your seam should be at the bottom edge where the pin heads are in the photo. Don’t worry if the bands don’t fit together perfectly so don’t do any trimming! When you sew them together, it all works out and it fits.
Here you see the bands are stitched together, but the Inside finished edge is free.
9. Clip curve at bill and press seam together.
10. Press Outside band folding down 1/2″ to form hem at the top of the band. Be sure that the Inside finished edge extends a little beyond the folded Outside band so that it can be easily stitched down with the top of cap.
11. Form top of cap:
- Starting at one edge of the octagon with the wrong side facing up, fold in point 1″ matching bottom edges.
- Now fold the top back, keeping the edges lined up and pin.
- Now fold the other side. To be sure you have it right, once it’s folded and pined, the edge should form a curved edge. Also, the inside folds should look like a “V” and the outside should have two straight pleats.
- Work your way around to form 4 sets of two pleats, one for each side and one for the front and back of cap. Once all 4 sets are pinned, your cap top should form a nice bowl like so, making sure the wrong side of your fabric is the inside of the bowl:
- Baste around the cap to keep pleats in place. I usually baste all the pleats except two. These two will be in the back of the cap and are loose so I can make any needed adjustments to fit the top of the cap perfectly into band. (Also, if you are making a different size cap, you may want to pin your cap onto the band before basting to check the fit. You may need to adjust all the pleats if it’s way off.)
12. Now, baste the top of cap to the inside finished edge of the band, but be sure that the front pleat is lined up with the middle of the bill or else it will look funky if it’s off.
Start sewing in the front of the cap and work around in each direction ending at the back seams. This is when you may need to do some adjusting of the back pleats to fit your cap top into your band.
13. Once everything fits good and there’s no puckering, fold over outside band and topstitch all layers with the outside band on top.
Try to stay as close to the top edge was possible while neatly sewing the inside band in place as well. (This is where things can get a little hard to keep in place if you’re not using a Walking Foot. Go slowly and watch your layers.)
14. Check all your seams for any puckering or missed edges and try it on.
15. And finally, find a comfy spot to sit, get your sharp seam ripper, and take out the basting stitches on the inside of the cap.
TA-DA, You are done!
Now take a picture of your cutie in his (or her) cap and post it on Flickr’s “Eddie Cap” group for all of us to admire.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I need to clarify any steps. 🙂

Great tutorial of such an adorable hat!
The only thing I would do different would be on Step 5…I’d use a double needle and an edge stitching foot so my topstitching would come out parallel.
Thanks so much for sharing! You rock!
With friendship,

lisa, love the hat, and my little Owen can’t wait to wear his when he plays with Thomas.
You pattern is based on a hexagon not an octagon….. and we thought high school geometry would never be used! Ha…. you threw me there for a minute.

Looks like an octagon to me – eight sides. A hexagon has six sides. Time for a geometry review?

i just made this for little man and i am so excited! i was a little impatient to get it finished so at the end when it was a little big i just took in the back pleats more rather than going around and adjusting them all. it’s really fine this way though and next time i know to size it a bit smaller. as long as no one examines the back of his hat up close though they’ll never know the difference! my camera is broken so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow, but i couldn’t wait to share…thanks!
Posted by dulcet on May 28, 2008 at 3:29 am
I just decided to make this for a present for my 8 year-old daughter’s friend. But my daughter is very small for her age and I decided not to trust her measurements for a normal size kid. So I took some measurements around the family. 6 year-old’s head circumfrence–21″, 12 year-old–21″, 33 year-old–22 1/4″! Weird. I guess heads don’t grow very much after a certain point. Which makes this tute even better because I don’t have to worry about fiddling with the recommended dimensions!
Posted by Pansy Moss on June 1, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Hi, I just made this today. I had a bit of trouble due to my lack of a walking foot. I have two more to make though, so I hope to do better next time.

Posted by K on October 18, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I’ve been looking all over for this, finding only knit instructions, so can’t wait to try in soft fabric for “newsboy” caps for my toddler granddaughters. They want ones like their teen cousins wear backwards!
So you might post a photo of a “girlie” one. Would you put in a heavy interfacing for a softer fabric brim and maybe make longer and less deep for girl?
Thanks!
Posted by Jessica Smith on July 28, 2017 at 3:07 pm
I did exactly that, I shortened the brim and used lighter fabric with interfacing. I also used 2 12×12 basted together wrong sides together with interfacing in between the 2 layers so the lining would not show interfacing. Works well. Walking foot would have been useful.
Lighter fabric tends to stretch a little around the brim, you may want to interface both of the lining pieces to help prevent the stretch.

Posted by Natalie on November 30, 2009 at 12:59 am
Hello! I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for sharing this tutorial! My son’s love trains and love their train hats! They were so excited to have a train hat that Mommy made! And because it is made of wool they are perfect for the winter! I was wondering if you would suggest how to make one bigger for an adult (me and my husband want one too!) and how to make it much smaller for a 1 year old. Thanks again!!!!!!
Posted by Irene on November 30, 2009 at 8:01 am
I’ve made this cap for adults as well. The only adjustment I make is in the band size which I simply make bigger. Then to get the top of the cap to fit, I don’t pleat it so much. It takes a little longer and you may to do some trial and error, but overall, it’s a easy adjustment. Most adult heads are not more than 1 or 2 inches larger.
Now for a one year old, you may not be able to pleat it enough to get the top to fit into the correct size band for a 1 year old. I’ve never tried to shrink it a ton, but I’m thinking you’re going to have to make the octagon smaller… maybe going in 4″ instead of 3.5″. I really don’t know if that would work though. If you do try it, please let me know how it worked out.
Thanks for the nice comment. I’m glad my tutorial worked out for you!
Posted by dewy dasies on September 29, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Irene,
I did make one for a one-year old, and using a smaller octagon did the trick. Her head measurement is about 17 inches, so my band measurement was 19, and the octagon originated from a 10-1/2 inch square instead of 12, and I measured in 3 instead of 3 -1/2 for the corner cut-offs. This all allowed room to ease/adjust. I also adjusted the size of the bill down some to keep things proportional. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Posted by Irene on October 14, 2010 at 8:32 am
Thanks for sharing your adjustments! I’m sure others will find it so helpful.
Take care,
Irene

Did you look for pillow ticking? That ought to work. You may need to iron-on some fusible interfacing on the octagon itself and the band.

I adore this. The nicest cap tutorial on the net. I made it for my son (in a sheap fabric for exercising) and my husband asked to make him also one.

Wonderful Tutorial!
If you use striped blue denim it will be a Train Conductor’s hat. I made them when my sons were little and into trains.

Posted by dewy dasies on September 29, 2010 at 1:46 pm
I gotta say, this struck my fancy the minute my eyes rested on it! I’ve now made three little caps for my granddaughters, using two coordinating corduroy’s with fusible interfacing sandwiched between for adequate stability, and being careful on the inside band seam, have the most adorable reversible hats for the girls! On the smallest, I also added a small piece of 5/8″ elastic inside the back of the band for snugger fit. They love them!

Hello,
I’m from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. I made your Eddie cap for my son on his first birthday. I got so many complements on it. I understand that this pattern is for personal use only. However, I was wondering if you would sell a copyright for it or give me permission to make and sell them locally.
I would appreciate if you could get back to me.
Thank you,
Naomi

I was attaching the band to the brim and had some trouble matching up without some puckers, is there a way around this. Other then that, love the project and your instructions are great!
Posted by Irene on February 18, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Hi Joyce,
Sorry to hear about the puckers. Puckers are pests! Anyway, I found that if I pin alot or use a walking foot, I can almost always be pucker-free! Also, make sure your seam allowances are the same. Hope it works out and thanks for stopping by!
Take care,
Irene

Posted by Melissa Jensen-Morgan on July 3, 2011 at 11:43 pm
Would love to know, what is the circumference of this hat? I’m not shy about trying to modify patterns, but it helps to know the starting point without having to waste time making and measuring the original first, when that’s not what I actually want to make. Thanks for the inspiration, if nothing else!

Hi there, I just made a hat for my little boy using your great tutorial. Mine definitely doesn’t look anywhere as good as yours but I’m still happy with the result for a first try. (Somehow my front pleats got a bit swallowed up by the band?) – You probably wouldn’t know to look at it (without comparison to your awesome original that is!)
Check it out here : http://mendandmakenew.blogspot.com/2011/09/dear-hat-for-sweet-boy.html

Posted by Andi J. on October 9, 2013 at 3:42 pm
This is awesome! I am a private tutor and one of the subjects I teach is needle crafts. I have a little boy in one of my sewing classes that I struggle to find “boy things”, as he calls it, for him to do. His parents bring his two sisters over to learn crochet and he came with them the first day. I asked him if he wanted to learn to crochet too and he vigorously shook his head no.
He left with his father. When they came back I asked him if he would like to do anything while his sisters were here next time. My sewing machine was set up because I was working on a quilt. He looked over to it and said that he would like to learn to sew.
The next time they came over he was so excited. Back in my fabric stash, I had a pillow panel with an eagle in flight on it. I thought that would be the perfect first project for a little boy so while his sisters were busy on the project they were working on, I got him started learning how to cut out the panel and then we worked on controlling the machine. (I have a teaching machine and can governor it down to a very slow stitch so it cannot get away from beginners. As they progress, I loosen up the pedal so they have to use their foot to control the speed but it is perfect for my beginning students.)
He was able to finish his pillow and stuff it and take it home with him that day. We have made other “boy things” over the months, and I think he is ready to progress to something a little more difficult and this is the perfect “boy thing” for him. I cannot wait to tell him what we are making next. 🙂 By the way, I made a PDF out of your instructions so I have them for future reference because I have a feeling when the other boys see this, we will be making several of them. If you would like the PDF to add to your blog, let me know and I will send it to you.
Thanks again!
Blessings,
Andi J.

Thanks for the great instructions on making the pattern and sewing the “Eddy” hat … My granddaughter was fighting the sun in her eyes while riding in her car seat ( the car visors are no help ) so I was thinking I need to find a hat pattern with a bill to shade her eyes … Your pattern and instructions seem easy enough to follow so I’m going to give it a try and use some fabric from old jeans I have around … Thanks so much I’m just a basic sewer so this is very much appriciated 🙂

Very well written! Thank you for that. I can’t wait to make it for my grandson. I sew for my granddaughter all the time but it’s hard to find cute items for boys. Thanks again!

This tutorial was just what I needed. I made this hat from a folded up piece of brown heavy spandex material. It took me two hours start to finish. And I love it! This hat is for a girl dressing as a boy in a ballet production we are putting on tomorrow. It is perfect! I can’t wait to buy some other fabrics and make some more for me and my daughters. Thank you!!

Hi Irene,
at first: SORRY for my bad school english – my last english lesson is about 8 years ago…
And then: THANK YOU for the great “eddie cap tutorial”!!
Do you know “Emil of Lonneberga”? I was looking for such a cap, because my son looks a little bit like him. (He even is so cheeky (?)…)
And I found it on your blog, made it in a few hours.
It also will be a part of his outfit on a fifties party in the summer. With some suspenders it will be awesome!!
Greetings from Germany
Stephanie

Love this little cap! Any suggestions on how i could make it adjustable? I’d like to make one for my young infant son who’s head is growing quickly. Would like it to last longer than a few months. Thanks in advance.
