I made another felted bowler hat from the Fibre Trends pattern. Once again, I used Reynold's Lite Lopi. This time, I only knit with one strand, instead of two. I used almost exactly two skeins for the medium size hat.

This is what it looks like after three trips through the washing machine. Between washes, I would let the hat dry with a mixing bowl inside. |

The end result is a little too small for me. I could have kept a closer eye on it during the felting process or I might just try the Large size next time. |
