It’s winter. You’re thinking about sweaters and getting ready for ugly sweater parties, but sometimes sweaters just don’t make the cut. Maybe they’re too small, oddly 
shaped, or otherwise un-wearable. Luckily for you, here’s an easy way to turn knitwear into fun winter hats.
You will need:
-Sweater from Goodwill
-Needle
-Yarn (yarn you can find at Goodwill, or you could pull apart another brightly colored sweater and use the yarn from that.
First assess your sweater: Does it have big roomy sleeves? Easy. All you need to do is cut open the seam and cut about 16 inches up the arm. If it has tiny arms, just cut a similar shape from the bottom of the sweater so that you have a clean edge to work with.
Next sew up the sides (with the right sides of the hat together). Tuck in the top edge by 1.5 inches, gather it in with your fingers and tie it tightly with strong yarn.
That’s your basic hat. Then you can add color and variety with pom-poms, embroidery stiches, glitter, you name it. It’s cold and dreary outside anyway, you might has well be a little colorful with your hats.
