I am having a bit of a "thing" at the moment for classic red and white toadstools. Over the weekend I busied myself recycling sweaters into some sweet little pixie hats for my market stall and Etsy shop.
Of course I also had to make one for the poppet - who decided she would like to try it on. It is a smidgen big for her at the moment, but she had fun putting it on and pulling it off and I managed to snap a pic at just the right time.
So cute!
It was fun deciding which of the lovely woolen sweaters to use. (You may remember this post from a few weeks ago).
I went for the gorgeous natural brown pure wool, hand knitted one to make the toadstool pixie hats, which I lined with cheery red and white stripes.
The toadstools I made from felt and hand-stitched on with lots of tiny little stitches and patience - especially all those little spots! I nestled the toadstools into a little grassy knoll so they look right at home...
I hope to make some sweet little newborn "knot hats" from a soft angora and cashmere sweater soon. They will likely sport some toadstools too. Can't wait!
