Upcycled Santa Hats

Re-purpose those old sweaters & shirts to celebrate the holidays.

Step 1 Materials & Pattern

There's not much to the materials list. You'll need 1 sweater for each basic project, and any embellishments you want to add on.

Create the pattern using the dimensions shown on the grid. (The pattern turned out to be too big for the brim. Cut it down to 13 inches wide, then you can fit it from there. I included a metric conversion chart from my grid.)

Very nice use of worn out or no longer used clothing articles.

I suppose it would be pretty easy to adapt to a "regular" hat, that is one that was not so seasonal....just for shielding against the cold, eh?
