This was easy to make and a good use of an old and holey jumper I have.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Old Hooded Jumper
  • Lace
  • Button(s)
  • Needle & Thread

Steps (5 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut off the hood from an old jumper or hoodie (mine was very lightweight, a cardigan might work well so experiment.

  2. 2

    Stitch a hem where the hood was cut so that it doesn't unravel.

  3. 3

    Add ribbon so that you are able to tie your bonnet.

  4. 4

    Decorate with lace, buttons, beads or anything that takes your fancy. I decided to go for a rough and ready victorian urchin look but as said above, experiment!

  5. 5

    Enjoy your bonnet. Very good for cosplay, LARP, dressing up or keeping your ears warm on a frosty autumn morining.
