Vintage 1990's Black Chenille Knitted Cone Hat Body
We admit we had no idea how to use this thing when we first got our hands on it, and then we plonked it onto a poupee and it just came to life! It's utterly perfect to make sculpted turbans. It's very soft, made from black knitted chenille, so you will want to block it over a buckram base to give it some structure. But trust us, it will be worth it!
Size (when flat) 24x37cm (9.4x14.5cm)
*Please note that this is not a finished hat but the 'body' to make one from scratch.*

Petershams Guide to hat bodies:
Cone: This is the perfect size for most fascinators and for blocking out hat crowns.
Flares: This is the size inbetween a cone and a capeline, so good for hats with smaller brims or larger fascinators.
Capelines: This is the largest hat body, great for wide brimmed hats.
