A wonderfully warm and cosy hat perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
This pattern includes the following sizes: Newborn–3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, age 1-2, age 2-4, age 4-7, age 7-12, Small Adult, Medium Adult, Large Adult and XL Adult. An overlocker can be used for most steps, but a regular sewing machine is all that is needed. It is suitable for enthusiastic beginners.
This pattern is named after the inspirational aviator, Amy Johnson. She was born in Yorkshire and was the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia. I consider both Yorkshire and Australia to be my home, and my maiden name was Johnson so I feel quite a connection with Amy.

I was terrified of sewing a hat until I suddenly had to do it in a couple of hours for a photoshoot the next day. All my fears disappeared as soon as I started the AJ Aviator as the instructions are all super clear and it turned out fantastic! The construction is not nearly as complicated as I imagined and it took me about 2 hours tops. It’s gonna fit for next winter as well, I love it!

This hat is so easy to sew and it looks amazing! I had some scraps from a coat and over trousers and now my little has a complete set to wear out!
The hat is so cozy too if lined with fleece! Can’t wait to sew up a few more! 🤩🤩🤩

I’m going to Scandinavia soon and wanted a black hat to keep warm.
This is an amazing pattern. I used cotton duck canvas for the outer and polyester sherpa fleece for the inner.
It was easy to construct due to the excellent pattern and thorough intructions. I used a walking foot due to the thickness and bulky seems and it sewed together beautifully. I’m going to make a few more 😊
