Yes, another hat. I’m really focusing on busting those scraps!
Recently, Blank Slate Patterns put out a testing call for their new slouchy beanie pattern and I snatched that opportunity. The pattern ranges from infant to adult sizes. It’s a reversible beanie. You can use one colour or try cutting two different colours for a neat look like I did for one of my beanies.
Not much to say except that the project is fast and a great stashbuster. I will be making a few more and sending them off to my friends for their new babies.
My first version is using leftover scraps from my Wonder Woman top from a few years ago. It’s a cotton rayon jersey with a nice drape and perfect for the beanie.
My second version is made with two different cotton lycras. One is a feather print leftover from a concord tank dress made in the summer and the other is a pink scrap acquired recently from a friend purging some of her stash. The cotton lycra doesn’t have a good drape like the cotton rayon jersey, but it still works.
Both hats are made using the tester pattern. Overall, they worked really well.

Made me smile Andie, gives you such a cheeky face 🙂
I’ve just successfully designed and made myself full length covers
for my wheelchair that a) I can put on unaided b) cost far, far less
than commercial ones c) make me so proud when I get compliments 🙂
Oooh, you should be proud. The covers sound brilliant! 🙂
Cute!!! And also, a great way to use up scraps!
Thanks, Tanya! 😀
