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?
More photos and details of this and other refashions can be found on my blog:
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!
