We are in a bit of a cold spell here... well cold for North Carolina in early November- mid 50's. Sutton asked me to buy her a hat. Of course there is no way am I going to buy a hat when I can make one for free!
I remembered a
tutorial that my friend
Jennifer did last winter. I dug through the 'clothing to be recycled' pile and pulled out two sweaters. The hats were very simple to make.
I grabbed some felt and made some flowers. For the white flower I used this
tutorial. I made up the purple and pink one myself. I much prefer the white flower (I love it's texture and volume) but Sutton insisted on having at least one hat with a pink and purple flower so of course she prefers that one!

I love them! Of course, I had to take all my old sweaters to goodwill last week . . . now that I have something I want to use them for!
Those are so cute! We are cold and drizzly here. Definitely hat weather too. :)
i want a hat with a white flower on it...
oh Erin, I so want to have granma days. The hats are so wonderful and cute but that baby you made takes my breathe away. I love her, I love you...
I love them Erin! They look so cute on her!
These are adorable. You kinda have a golden touch with things you know!!
Did you use regular felt or felted wool for the flowers and petals? And did you use sweaters that aren't wool? I couldn't find any wool sweaters at the thrift shop so I got some that were a mix of materials. I hope they work.
@Kelly- I used regular wool from Hobby Lobby. I have never bought the more expensive wool felt. I know once I do I won't be able to use the cheap stuff anymore! :)
The sweaters were both blends... the pink was a silk blend and the brown was a cotton/wool blend.
