Little Red Riding Hood

This little capelet with attached hood is a refashioned felted wool sweater. After felting, this size large women's sweater was about Charlie's size across the shoulders, which inspired its use as a cape. To create the mini-cape, I removed the arms and bottom of the sweater below the design. I then made a slit up the front, keeping the original crew neck. To create the hood, I created a pattern from one of Charlie's sweatshirts and cut it from the bottom of the sweater, letting the waistband edge the hood. To finish, I used a zig-zag stitch around the raw edges at the bottom of the cape.
This little pointy hat was cut from the bottom of a felted sweater. So easy and so cute.
