I embroidered this beanie to give to my wife, as her Christmas present. I ended up caving and gave it to her as soon as I finished it (December 1st). I'd rather she wear it while it's actually cold anyways.
To make it, I started with a pencil drawing. I turned the drawing into a vector drawing to get the more defined shapes. The vector drawing was traced onto a sheet of stabilizer. I got the kind made of material that can be washed away. Even though I don't think was meant to be drawn on, the stabilizer allowed me to transfer my design onto the beanie. I just had to fill in the embroidery floss like a color-by-numbers painting.
The most difficult part of this project was attaching and securing the beanie to the embroidery hoop. It was way too thick and kept popping out. Maybe next time I'll just clip it on.
