Felted Pillbox Hat

Based on Felted Pillbox Hat by Jennifer T.
This is my latest headpiece- a slightly modified version of my Dose Pillbox pattern.

One of the fun things with shaped hats like this is the smallest variations can really alter the look of the piece.

This version is about half the height of the original with an extra repeat for the width. I wanted a more casual version and to play with simple needle-felting for the embellishment. What to felt? Skulls of course!

Worked in Patons Classic Wool Merino like my others. I love this stuff, felts beautifully. I've also found if you really work on smoothing the felt while it's still wet/damp onto whatever you're using to block it on, it really polishes out the finished texture.
