    looking for a flat cap pattern

    I've got some extra Isle of Skye yardage from which I want to make a flat cap to wear with the kilt. It used to be fairly easy to find patterns for men's garments and accessories, but that's no longer the case. Searching the fabric stores and Internet [even Folkwear] has not been successful.

    So ... I'm turning to the DIY rabble to see whether one of you has a flat cap pattern to share, or a resource for one that I haven't found. If not, I'll probably just buy a cap and rip it apart.

    Thanks in advance!

    Eureka! I [think I] have found it. I went back to a source I've searched before, but looked through the women's patterns this time. After all, it's headwear and basically not gender-specific. Voila! Now to find out whether it's still available or not ...

    Share please. I wish to make one as well. It is the only type cap I wear. I have never seen a pattern for one except a knitted one and I am not going down that path.

    I have a pattern for one that we tore apart years ago.
    I was just asked to make some for friends, so I am going to dig it out if I can find it this weekend.
    If I find it, I will be happy to scan and share it.

    I've also ordered this discontinued Vogue pattern: http://momspatterns.com/inc/sdetail/21324. I don't know whether she has more of them. Since it's no longer being sold by the company I don't think there would be a legal problem sharing it. I expect to receive it by the beginning of next week.
