    "Gangster" Hats for kids

    not sure what I'm doing but he's already chosen a suit with waistcoat.. He sure knows what he likes but he said the hat was missing so he could not wear the suit without the hat.. so he has chosen a hat and all I need to do is order..

    "Gangster" Hats for kids

    This might be a really silly question but any ideas where I can get one of the hats a "gangster" would wear? My 6 year old is desperate for one..

    Stretching fairisle jumpers?

    if it's got acrylic in it then I would say you are stretching it more by putting in a hot wash, IMHO I don't think that acrylic shrinks, it get loser with washing..

    Stretching fairisle jumpers?

    then you need to wet it, get someone to grab the top at shoulder clenching the top part of the jumper and then you do the same for the bottom part you each take it in turn to pull or wriggle, you will notice a difference in length... You could also try steaming...

    Stretching fairisle jumpers?

    If it's pure wool, you will have to reshape when it is wet, grab it at the four corners, yes you'll need someone to hold it with you then wriggle it to the size you want before laying it to dry..

    I want a real sweater.

    It looks like a waffle stitch in the pattern.. I've done a similar jumper but the collar was split at the side for some reason the guy wanted it at the side.

    thank you for the comment, so glad that you are pleased with you Harris Wool Jumper. The jumpers are hand knitted using the same wool that is used in the weaving of Harris Tweed making them a very durable garment, and yes you must tame it..:)
