upcycled sweater hats

It is that time of year to start thinking about the cold mornings and ramping up your fall wardrobe.  When trying to figure out what sweaters are still good for the upcoming season, hold on to the old ratty/pilly/worn sweaters for this fun and quick project.   Cost: free Time: 30 mintues Needed: old sweater (owned) hat (owned) rotary cutter (owned) cutting board (owned) sewing machine (owned) fabric flower (optional) 1.  Cut it.  Take your sweater inside out and lay flat on a table.  Take your owned hat and line it up so the sweater's torso bottom ends and the hat's band are flush.  Trace and cut with your rotary cutter on your cutting board.  You should end up with two pseudo-half circle pieces.     2.  Stitch it.  With the exteriors of the two pieces lined up together, straight stitch  around the dome of the hat making sure to adjust your stitch/length appropriately for the thickness of the knit.  3.  Embellish it.  Turn your hat right-side out, and add your accessories if you would like.  I made some quick fabric flowers and stitched into place.  You could also use hot glue, or use a safety-pin for temporary embellishments.
