The first picture is the front of the hat, the second is the back of the hat. This project took me about 2 hours total. I took an old donated hoodie, used the cuffs of each sleeve to create mittens (sewn on appliques) and then used a plain piece (cut into triangle shape) of the hoodie to create the hat. I added both set of patterns to the hat and then each mitten has one or the other. The edge of the hat was unfinished, so I added ribbon. The ribbon was by far the hardest. This can easily fit a young girl, elementary or junior high aged. I had hoped to make 4 items (a big matching tote is on its way) and give them to my friend Emily, but didn't want to cut into the tote's material to make the hat big enough. Although the mittens and tote (obviously) will 'fit' her! What a fun project, I am going to make a lot of these 'sets' and sell them on my Etsy Store.
