Sew Easy Hat From Old Sweater

Step 6 Cut sweater seams and lay out pattern pieces

Once the sweater is dry, cut along the seams to obtain pieces of material. (It's easier if you turn the sweater inside out and cut up the center of the seam.)

Lay the sweater pieces flat and decide which pieces will be large enough for the each piece of the paper pattern.  One of the sleeves, the front and the back of this sweater will be used.  The round top piece is placed on the upper part of the sleeve; and the 13 1/4" X 6" rectangle is placed on both the front and the back sections up across the line from underarm to underarm.
