i just love hats and i wish they were required wearing again! so i made these to satisfy that and it was so cute i decided to sell them in my shop! They're pretty complicated, but once you get the hang of it, i can make one in about a day--not bad, really. Right now I am making them in two sizes--the larger version is made up of two circles the larger one measuring 4" in diameter. The smaller version is made up of 3 circles, the larger one measuring 2 1/2" in diameter. And I'm making them in 3 colors: red, black and moss green. They are essentially wool felt cut into 'rosettes' glued to another felt circle, trimmed, beaded, then affixed to the headband where another felt circle is glued/tack-stitched to the back so the underside is pretty too :) i included pics of them on so you can see how they look.
