Pulled this from a quick google search. You might just make sure the base of the 'triangle' is 1/2 of the diameter measurement of the doll's head - with room for hair/etc.

 

There use to be a how to make a human Santa hat into both a doll hat and matching dress tutorial out there, but I found that when I fist joined the hobby forever ago. Good luck.

 

Dollheimr on Etsy has a santa hat pattern for 1/6 dolls. You could enlarge it for bigger dolls, too.

 

@lividdarkangel Thanks for the tutorial!!

 

I found a tutorial and pattern meant for Blythe, but the instructions seem very easy to modify for any doll of any size. The person has a Smart Doll Mirai, so the same pattern might work for Volks Dollfie Dream with a few alterations. I've seen some stores carrying tree ornaments that are actual hats, but I've never purchased any myself (we don't put a tree in our house, for many reasons despite being Catholic).

I love putting my OT figures and dolls in ugly X-mas sweaters which are actually tree ornaments, but I never thought about torturing them in Santa hats too... I might try that this year! (:

 

Despite having experience in sewing for quite a few years now, I still suck at sewing myself, so I understand! n__n

Most of the "ugly" Christmas sweater ornaments I've found are a good size for 1:6 figures or other 12" fashion dolls. I am not sure that they would work for larger sized BJD than slim mini. The hats I've seen are all very large however, probably better suited for mini-sized BJD with smaller heads, and definitely too large for 1:6. I think I'll try the hat tutorial for Blythe, and the one you posted, to attempt making some for those figures. Otherwise, I'll just go with the sweaters alone this year as well -- I completely forgot about it last year, so I'm looking forward to forcing some figures into new ugly sweaters this year. (:

 

I've done a few t-shirts for some of my own dolls; I don't find those too hard. I don't usually dress my dolls in casual wear however, I am a bit more into weird clothes. I find coats and dress-shirts a bit more of a pain in the gut, more so the fitted/tailored kind.

1:6 scale is a very popular size to collect, so there are a lot of awesome miniatures that work well for a broad range of BJDs that are tiny. I am a fan of the 1:6 action figures, so I do collect a lot of those, and I'm lucky that I'm able to find ornaments that work well for them anywhere near me. Sadly, most of my resin dolls are on the larger sizes, so nothing1:6 works for them, as larger scale miniatures tend to be not as popular and a lot more expensive. I have found a few hat ornaments, and a few pet hats that could probably work for 60cm-plus-sized dolls, but those smaller pet hats are super expensive (for what they are)! I have a few of the ones that are meant for (my) cats, but those are way too large, even for my larger BJD (they work for Pullip and friends though!) Good luck sewing Santa hats for your own crew. I think I better get started on mine, before time runs out -- which is always the case for me (I procrastinate). (:

 

I think most miniatures that are under 1:4 are popular scales to collect. Most anything larger than that tends to be a lot more expensive, and rare. I have seen a few headbands meant for humans at the Dollar Tree, that have tiny hats (or reindeer antlers), but I haven't seen any with Santa hats so far. They sell small squares of craft felt at Walmart for a dollar or less, so I'll probably pick up a few pieces when I'm out shopping for other stuff. I'm not a fan of crowds, so I rather not go out during sale events (I'm a bit of a germaphobe). DX
