Hats from an Old Sweater

So, if you have an old knit sweater lying around, put it to good use with this week's project.  I found a slightly shrunken sweater and turned it into 2 hats for my kids and 2 baby doll hats (using the sleeves).  Here's how:
 Find an old sweater and trace a template out of a hat you currently own.  You may be able to make an adult's hat if you can find a sweater that doesn't open in the middle.  Turn and sew right sides together.
 For the doll hats, I used each sleeve and ran elastic through the cuff.  Finish in the same manor as above. 
Time for playtime!
