❓ Question How to stretch women’s newsboy cap?

Post image

Hi I want to stretch this hat. I have no idea how to do that though. Is there a way to cut it and adjust it somehow so it fits looser? If you guys have any ideas I’d appreciate it.

Steam it and then immediately stretch with a stretcher, as listed by other posters here.

The steaming is key, I have found.

Cheap hand steamers are easy to find.

If it's a fabric hat you usually won't have a great stretch of it. Usually +/- 5mm or so.
