Teen Crafternoon on Monday with the Ashland library Teen Department presented a perfect opportunity to make a cap with earflaps from two repurposed sweaters.
The sweater-hat originated during league bowling one night with the Lake County Record-Bee “Killer Bees.” While waiting my turn to bowl, I traced the outline of my cap and used it to draft a pattern.
When the time came Monday to give the pattern its trial run, I also cut out a brim. No pattern for the brim, just freehand cutting to a size that would center it between the earflaps.
I got as far as I could during Teen Crafternoon, sewing seams by hand, and finished the project at home. I told a couple of librarians who wanted to see my hat, that the next time I came to the library the hat would be complete.
The matching arm-warmers were simple enough: I cut sleeves from the same sweater and reinforced the top raw edges with machine zig-zag stitch.
