Katwise inspired purple paisley felted 100% cashmere/fleece recycled sweater elf hat-SMALL-1457

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).  Stretchy material fits most but do take a look at the rough measurements below.  This one is a hybrid between my regular hats and the hoods. It has long flaps that hang down on the sides to keep your ears warm and cozy. Rough "brim" measurement: ~22 inches Fit notes: The curvature of the hats is nearly impossible to measure... that said, this hat is a little smaller/tighter so needs a smaller head or someone who wants a more snug fit (fits me fine but is more snug). 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.
