Knitted on circular needles from felting wool (from knitting 4 fun) and mohair (from Colinette), and then felted in the washing machine to give a denser fabric. I don't felt them for long so they stay soft and flexible.

This hat, in blues and speckly purples and pinks, measures 54 cm (21 inches) in diameter.

Hats can be hand washed in warm water, squeezing out the excess water and either laid flat to dry or you could put it over a pudding bowl.
