Tutorial: Make a slouchy hat from an old sweaterYou can make slouchy cool hats out of an old sweater with just a few easy steps.  VixenMade shows how to do it.  This is a great way to upcycle a sweater that’s no longer wearable due to staining, holes, or a child having outgrown it.  Depending on the size of the sweater and the size of the hat you’re making, you may even be able to get two hats out of one sweater.  Go to VixenMade for the tute.
