This pattern is for an ADULT sized hat (please see measurements given in the details)

Who can’t relate to a cicada? While most of us can’t spend the summer sitting in a tree screaming, we can at least create a hat, wear it, and internally scream (heck, doesn’t even need to be summer to do it).
Here is the pattern to do just that (heck, you can even do it in a tree- just be safe, y’all)

Pattern includes photos for technique clarification, major steps, and assembly- this pattern does not contain photos for every repeating step.
The pattern booklet is in a PDF format (and is 11 pages).
