Received a 2nd place ribbon in the “Open Class” of the hand woven section of the 2015 Chilliwack Exhibition.

I created this woven (and knitted!) Saori hat using the bit of warp left over after weaving two scarves.

The selvedges of the warp were pulled to gather the edges, and then I tied the fringes from both ends together and twisted them.

I went along the front edge with a circular knitting needle picking up a stitch in each weft loop (but behind the outermost warp thread in case the weft pulled loose) and then I knitted a ribbed band.

My weaving wasn’t wide enough to fully close at the top and I had a gap, so I also picked up stitches around the hole and decreased like you would for the top of a knitted beanie.
