Silly hat project

[gurdymonkey]

Especially 'cause kareina  asked.
I measured the circumference of my head and got 23". I added two inches because it's going to have fur inside the fabric and I hate tight hats. Four being an inauspicious number, I divided by 25 by 5, estimating isoceles triangles with bases of 5" for my basic cone. I added a 3" vertical drop to the two front pieces, then extended the original triangle shape for the three back pieces. It worked out to about 15" per leg and 11" for the bottom. 

Sew the two front pieces together.
Sew the three back pieces together.
Sew back to front.
Cut curve in bottom edge of right and left back pieces. (Leave the middle back piece alone.

This is what I have so far. You can see where I've turned up the side and front - try to imagine fur there. Bead and tassel were scrounged from the sewing box.

What color fur are you going to use?

It's a very dark brown rabbit fur with white guard hairs. Should look great!
