Gnome hats (a tutorial)

I've always felt a strong, almost spiritual connection to anything gnome-related. At one point in my childhood I tried convincing some classmates that I was part gnome (I'm was really small as a kid and am still kinda short, my father is short, his dad is even shorter AND has a big white beard! Gnome, I say!). So now I can do whatever the fuck I want and I wanna be a gnome! So I made two gnome hats, and here's how I made em.

I measured the circumference (all the way around) of my head, then added an inch. (example: my head was 23 inches, plus 2 equals 25 inches)
I drew a triangle where the base is half of my measurement (so around 12.5 inches for the base)
I made the top of the triangle either A. 13 inches tall from the base for my tall hat OR about 7 inches tall from the base for my short hat (both pictured below)
I cut out these templates and use them to cut out 2 copies of said template in felt
I sewed the two pieces of fabric together on the sides, leaving the base open.
Flip the hat inside out so the seams are inside, you'll want to wear it this way (or maybe don't if you're feeling extra cool :D )

And voila! That's how I made my hats! Sorry I didn't think to take pix during my process, I just kinda did it quick :P

And here's how they turned out (also to do the brim of the hats I just flipped the bottoms inside out):
