Katwise inspired blue felted cashmere/ merino wool recycled sweater elf hat/hood-1552

Part of my handmade felted 100% cashmere/fleece hat line. The machine needle-felting process makes this much softer and warmer than anything non-felted (and takes a LOT longer to make, which accounts for the cost).  

This hood is luxurious machine-needle-felted cashmere and merino wool, mixed with a bit of fleece for visual flare. 

Closure: One large/one small sturdy snap button

Hood Brim: This one DOES have the cool upgraded hood brim for more structure (more about that HERE.)

This one, rather than a "closed hat" design, is basically a hood. I really like this design because unlike a hat that's either "on" or "off", you can pull the hood down off the head but still be wearing it and not lose it. Since this is a hood rather than a hat, it's also WAY more flexible in terms of fit. If you have any doubts though, just ask. :-) 

You can sometimes find things like this on Etsy for the same price as mine (usually around $40-$60), but mine are machine-needle-felted, so thicker, way more durable, and a lot warmer. I have a machine with 12 spiky needles that does this. It also takes more time and makes a huge difference in the finished work. 

ARM WARMERS/LEG WARMERS SOLD SEPARATELY. Check my arm warmer listings for a set of arm warmers and/or leg warmers with similar colors (I tend to make these in bundles). If the coats are a bit much for you, you can put together a hat/hood with arm warmers and/or leg warmers and it does look super cute. Check carefully though because I tend to vary everything I make so each item is slightly different. You may see green arm-warmers or leg warmers with other fleece designs or no fleece at all.  I try to make coordinating sets but I generally sell them separately so you can pick and choose.
