2 questions?
1. Did you use the 11" circle?
2. How high/wide is the headband portion? THAT is the one area I cannot get to look quite right on mine (though I doubt ANYONE will notice the different ones on my caps - OR CARE). I am building a personal mental-data base on the various porpotions used on the head part and how it affects the top portion.

Again, nice bonnet!
Thanks, The exposed portion of the hat band is 1.5" exactly. I used an 11" circle. Other tools included a stoneware dinner plate, a tupperware bowl and a compass. The final circle width ended up closer to 2" for my head size. I will probably make the next one 11.5" to get it looking a little more standard although I think this one will be my favorite hat next to my Glengarry. O'Neille
