Digital Download – Flat Cap for Buttons the Best Dressed Bear Pattern

This pattern is the perfect add-on to the fantastic Buttons the Best Dressed Bear pattern! Create Buttons’ stylish flat cap for free using the digital download and dress him up so he’s simply dashing.

This hat has a 6 piece top just like the one Thomas Shelby wore in Peaky Blinders which means this pattern works really well when made with materials such as tweed or wool to give it that traditional look. It’s recommended to use soft fabrics which will give the cap a ‘floppy’ look so corduroy also is a good choice when choosing a material for it.

This pattern also works great with the Funky Friends Factory Ben the Beginner Bear pattern.
