The basic flat cap pattern I use is 3 circles with centers removed (for the brim and underneath part, kind of like a doughnut shape) and one solid circle for the top. From what I could see of the picture , the cap you want seems to turn up on the brim.(?) If so, take wedges out of the 3 doughnuts so they don't lie flat, but make a 3-D shape, like a lampshade. Make sure you interface well, so it doesn't droop. Does this help? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan B.
