This is a sewing pattern and instructions for a simple flat cap (hunting cap).

The key points are to use firm interfacing for the brim and to finish the seam allowances neatly for a clean look.

You can freely adjust the brim design or use this as a base pattern for your own variations.

After printing, align and paste the pages along the matching lines, then cut along the outline. Seam allowances are already included, so you can start sewing right away.

(1) Sew the V-shaped darts on the top part, finish the seam allowances, and press them to one side with an iron.

(2) Finish the edges of both the top and side pieces, then sew them together.

* To create a rounder shape, press the seam open and topstitch.

(3) Sew the brim pieces together, turn them right side out, and insert firm brim interfacing inside.

(4) Attach the brim to the side piece.

* Finish the joining part with a hat band or bias tape.

Go Ikeyamada uses Chapter 88 to solidify several thematic elements that define the overarching message of Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!! : Destiny vs. Trauma

In a poignant moment, Sayaka experiences a vision of her deceased parents, realizing that they have always been by her side. This moment gives her the strength to survive the arduous delivery.

Ikeda’s art in Chapter 88 deserves praise. The use of negative space (empty hallways, vast rainy skies) contrasts with the crowded emotional panels. The rain stops only on the final page, symbolizing the end of a long emotional drought.

In the end, Chapter 88 stands as a testament to the enduring power of shojo manga to tell stories of love, friendship, and personal growth that leave a lasting impact on its audience. Whether you're revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time, the final chapter of Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!! is a must-read for any fan of the genre.
