You Will Need
-
Step 1Pick an umbrella with pretty fabric.
-
Step 2With my umbrella, the fabric was fastened to the frame with thread. Try to cut it loose without making a hole in the fabric. In the middle of the fabric, just cut around the top of the umbrella, leaving a hole.
Cut off the little 'clasp' with velcro too.
-
Step 3Start cutting the fabric in one of the corners.
-
Step 4Cut one long strip of about 2cm in width.
-
Step 5The seams of the umbrella might loosen when you're cutting the fabric. Don't worry about them unless the fabric actually breaks. In that case, sew it up with just a few stitches. You won't see it when you crochet or knit with it.
-
Step 6Keep going..
-
Step 7..until you've cut all of the fabric and wound it into a ball!
-
Step 8Now you can start crocheting or knitting with it!
