Quote - what I would do is import the figure head into my modeller . Create a plane and position it to be the bottom edge of the hat .

Boolean intersect, so you get a shape of the plane that was inside the head.
Size the plane a tiny bit bigger.
Then select the edge of the plane , and start extending it out for the rim of the hat.
select the plane and bevel it up to be the body of the hat .
Some point dragging to shape the hat and your done .

I thought there were some similar hats in freestuff already .

There are a few but none for the figure I am trying to create it for, CP's Big Foot, Near Me and BJD. I am also working on an outfit (dress) for CP's Bigfoot for a buddy of mine who lives in the Northwest who claims to have seen Bigfoot. It is an on going joke between him and I.
