Originally published in the early 1960s, this book is the second in a series of four that will show you how to make both the playful and glamorous hats of the 1960s. Twelve hats are included: 

- envelope toque -- worn as a high rise toque, snood, beret or 
  turn about
- stitched beret -- stitched cotton with streamers that can be
  twisted stylishly around the neck, tied into a bow, left to
  hang, or removed for a different look
- see thru summer snood -- transparent silk net combined with
  tiny velvet bows, knots, flower sprays or any other trim of
  your choice
- soft look snood beret -- a long snood beret with detailed back
  interest
- cocktail charmer -- made with nylon lace and easily gathered
  with thread thru the middle, attach trims of your choice, made
  in less than an hour
- back-swept turban -- from Paris and designed as a draped turban
  coverup with back interest
- pillbox scarf hat -- for softer looks, a scarfed pillbox
  swatched in chiffon
- occasion-and-holiday hat -- an alluring cocktail cap made with
  a pouff of small ostrich feathers
- feather phantasy -- one of the simplest hats to produce with
  the addition of ostrich feather pads or other plumage
- evening cover-up -- a scarf hood of white silk organza (or
  other appropriate fabric), perfect for day or evening wear
- high-crown cloche -- shiny smooth braid for the pleated crown
  with a velvet bow in back
- scarf turban -- the go-anyplace packable hat, very easy to make

Text instructions and illustrations detail measurements, folds, sewing guides (for hats that are sewn), and trim placement. Fabric suggestions, yardage, trim quantity -- everything is clearly written for these easy-to-make hats.
