Making 1920's Turban inspired hat

Using the double layered cotton knit I recently purchased I tried to remake a hat of mine that I think will be perfect for the collection as it is casual, warm and 1920's oriental inspired.




Design details of original turban.




Making process.



First trying it on, too loose around edge so am sharpening curve as reduce circumference.


Fixed.




In all I was really please about how it turned out. I think its good as it has a sense of style and era about it while still remaining very simple and neutral. I think If I was to hem this again I would use cover stitch over lock as this would give a clean, quick finish. I would also reduce the circumference a little more so it was tighter.
