Cashmere hat (from a jumper!)

I'll admit it.  I don't always read the washing labels.  Normally it isn't a problem.

Except on one occasion when I put a gorgeous cashmere jumper in the normal wash.  Needless to say, it shrank.  Lots.

So I decided to make a hat out of it instead.

Using the jumper ribbing for the base of the hat, I added a 'felted' flower and a bit of sparkle.





What do you think?

Happy refashioning everyone!

    Such a shame that your jumper bit the dust but what a gorgeous hat you've now got!

    I love the way it turned out-nice job. If I had extra, I would make wrist warmers to match-but I love wrist warmers-so that is just me.

    Love hoe pretty it is. I haunt thrift stores for cashmere to make in to wrist warmers and hats. Sorry about the jumper though.

    I lost a sweater to regular washing last year. If only I had turned it into a hat! Great job!
