Here's my entry for the Beads4You Winter Challenge on Etsy. All entrants purchased the same set of beads and made something fabulous with it. I made this hat with beaded hat pin-like picks. I knitted a superlong ribbed 1 inch strip on my knitting machine (yes, quite tedious), then stitched it around into a large hat, that I fulled down to human size. It is quite thick and warm, and will probably end up as a gift for my mother, although your comments could inspire me to make one for sale.
