DIY Fashion: ThreadBanger
Video Demo: How to Crochet a Cool Hat
Compiled by Vicki McClure Davidson
ThreadBanger's Rob and Corinne show how easy it is to expertly crochet a smart-looking woman's winter hat. Recycled yarn or new yarn can be used for the project. Before running off and buying a skein or two of yarn, ask around. So many crafters have tons of skeins of yarn in closets or craft rooms. Also, pop on over to the Salvation Army or Goodwill stores in your area. I always see clean, unused skeins of yarn when I am browsing second-hand stores or yard sales, priced at a fraction of what it costs to buy new. Colors may be limited (of course), but the savings are worth pursuing.
Corinne looks positively smashing in this crocheted hat, and so will you.
It is also a thoughtful gift-giving idea that will cost you a mere pittance in materials. Step-by-step instruction is provided in the video.
