Sewing a Cap for Little Red Riding Hood, or Rotkappchen, with Original Pattern

Sometimes my favourite customers share with me very interesting ideas. One of these ideas was the creation of a cap from the film About Rotkappchen:

I say 'Thank you!' to Elena Vashkevich from the city of Berdsk and her order — this is how this tutorial was born!

Materials:

  • red felt, 2 mm thick, 2 sheet size 50 x 50 cm
  • red threads
  • needle
  • nail scissors with bent ends
  • tailor scissors
  • pins
  • ballpoint pen

I developed a pattern for adults (head circumference 56-58 cm). If you need a pattern for kids, reduce the base of the pattern by 1 cm form all sides, then transfer the drawing using all elements from the pattern for adults (not reducing it).

The pattern for adult:

Detail 1 — the upper part of the cap with openwork edges. It's on two A4 paper sheets.

Detail 25 — the back of the cap.

1. Cut out detail 1 out of felt:


Make Detail 2 out of remains.

2. Apply the pattern:

3. Cut out the pattern on Detail 1 with the nail scissors.

You get this:

4. Pin Detail 1 and 2 to each other:

5. And sew manually:

6. Add laces passing them through the round holes:


Tie the laces:

All is done!

Enjoy the result!

Thank you all!
