Fibre archeology : upscale ; scarf to hat/scarf

A pure wool scarf that had stretched to nearly nine feet long through some adventures in its lifetime and sustained a bit of moth nibbling along the way was scooped up at a church rummage sale. 

One end was folded down into a breadloaf mountain-shaped hat  secured with running knots.  Starting at the other end, long gathered stitches were  hand sewn  with linen/wool yarn and a large needle  along  a rambling  S  path up almost the entire remaining  length of  the scarf toward the hat.

Jauntily versatile!
