Felt Hat Matching Scarf

Its July 2010 and winter is in the air time to wear a smart felt hat and chunky hand spun knitted scarf. Top black hat is on the small size with a felted band with its ends made as a feature tied at the side in a knot leaving the ends to point upwards.
Below Dark Green (not shown colour up - sorry) felt hat for a person who likes a medium size. It has a curved upward brim and the band is green felted with embellishment with glitter showing thru. Very stylish but casual. The Scarf is green and rustic browns blended thru. Both scarfs have very long tastles to create extra length without weight.

Swaggy Felt Hat

I hope those corks keep those buzzing flies away.
Thats what the "swaggy" of old times used to do with their hats working out doors. Tie corks around the brim. Today Cork is hard to get, even the wine bottles are using plastic. There use to be this huge Cork tree in Ballarat in their Botanic Gardens I am wondering if it still exists??.

I just finished felting his natural brown fleece hat with the corks swinging around it. I found some brown hessian in my stash which I have used for a band and a spider attached on the hood.
