FELTED HATS

2/1/2006

5 Comments

 
Looking for a quick knit project? Felted hats are easy and fun to make and are one of the most popular projects with our customers. The hats pictured require 100% wool(not superwash) and are felted with hot water and agitation. This creates a thick, shrunken fabric that is incredibly warm.
Picture
From right to left: Turquoise helmet - Fritidsgarn wool. Multi-coloured Bucket Hats - Noro Kureyon wool. Both the red and the brown Bucket Hats - Manos del Uruguay. The Rolled Brim hat - Galway wool. All yarns are available in a wide variety of colours, and the patterns are free with the yarn.

Felting:
Felt in machine on hottest cycle with a pair of jeans (to add extra agitation), adding a small amount of mild detergent. Check after one wash to see if the hat fits - it may be necessary to do it a second time (or even a third). Shape over a coffee can or some other suitable container and leave it dry.
Optional Felted Flower:
Using 1 strand of worsted weight yarn and 5mm needle, cast on 2 stitches. Increase at the beginning of every row until there are 11 stitches. Cut yarn. Make 3 more points, casting on 2 stitches for each point onto an empty needle and breaking yarn on all but the last point. Knit across all 4 points (44 sts). Next row - k2tog across, k1. Next row - k2tog across. Next row - k2tog across. Pass the last 4 sts over the 1st stitch. Fasten off and sew seam. Felt with hat. Sew to hat with single strand of yarn.
