We've been having a cool spring extension and so my ongoing wearing of this hat was leading me to think – "Wow, this could be a year round head covering." Then we had two days of summer weather – but – mornings and evenings are bracing and hat is proving to be one that one can wear year round. It actually even works in the hot sun with its visorability to shade face or neck and the lightweight cashmere has that magic of wool of keeping one cool as well as warm.
It's made from a thrift store cashmere sweater and I told how to do it – it's so simple and quick! – here
If you make one I would love to hear from you and what you think of the hat. I find it slips in a pocket or purse, can be worn many different ways, is light and comfortable to wear and does what a hat ought to do.
I've made ones from recycled t-shirts, denim (for the bottom I used a fabric with a bit of stretch), rainwear material and have a thought to try one in clear plastic for the top and a solid colour for the bottom.
The one shown in the tutorial is available for sale in my etsy shop.
