Last year, around this time, I was learning the new skill of nalbinding. This winter I decided to use that skill to make a hat. I didn't follow a pattern, just sort of increased whenever it felt appropriate. The result was kind of nice looking but a loose weave. And far too big around. It fell over my face.
Luckily, this hat was made from wool yarn so I was able to felt it. Since fit was a concern, I felted it by hand. While that's a lot more labor intensive I had control over the exact finished size. Here's the final product, just in time for the winter storm they've predicted for this weekend.
