[Editor's Note: Your first instinct might be to throw away an old sweater with holes. However, if you are Kate from See Kate Sew you see a hat not a trashcan. Not just any hat a really cute super snuggly hat. - Jen]

Kate talked about why she decided to convert her sweater into a hat: " One of my goals for this new year is purge my closet so that it is full of only things I love. I liked this sweater when I got it, but it has a hole now, which I could fix...but I also washed it with a brand new sweatshirt and it has sweatshirt specks all over it. I could get them off, but I never really liked the way this sweater fit anyways. It felt so good to cut into it!"

I love the hat design too. Plus I have a soft and snuggly sweater full of holes just begging to be transformed.
