So the slashed crown hat is the one called the starfish hat.... hmmmm.. I admit I wanted to take a photo of the crown flopped on my head as it was a bit like an octopus out of water in shape..... and thought about the starfish connection. I actually thought it referred to a different hat... a softer slashed brim version of the barrett... But that's because I wasn't making the hats when I was reading the modern references to them;) > I believe I'm the one who invented the "pizza" hat, at least in it's modern > early-Durer configuration, in 1971. I really need to post the instructions > on my website. After Ren. Faire... You should, I know several people who use it (the origami crown right?) but never know where to point people;) I actually used the barrett in the Germanishes National Museum as my starter for mine which is essential three circles the same size one pleated into a hole cut for the head in the other two to make the crown and brim;) A few stabilising fetaures (wire and interfacing) of course are needed. I also will be filling out my page as I am doing a class on German headgear next weekend. I do have patterns and will include step by step instructions that I used. I need to make a new fitted cap for the wulst and a new later period wulst (where it seems to have slipped down at the back of the head. I also have rehersals for The Secret Garden here which are taking up a bit of time as well. But I should get the class up in a very short time. I need to get a class on cirles in German Garb up as well.
