The template is $9. I ordered it the other day when I was getting some other supplies. I haven't needed it yet but it looks simple enough.

You just put the back of the hat on the template and it'll line up with the correct arc. I don't remember how much it is, but not very much and well worth it for hat backs. Good luck!
