How to Make No-Sew Wool Fishing Hats
When it is cold up in New England, they used to make these easy-to craft wool fishing hoods. Get about three-quarters of a yard of wool or fabric of some sort. Lay it out and mark the lower corners a and b. You will need to hold the corners a & b until you are done making the hat, so don't let go. Mark the upper corners x and y now. You can see the corners marked x, y, a, b in figure 1. Fold side ab to side xy as pictured in figure 2. Now bring down side AB to meet side CD which is what we are calling the seam that you created in figure 2. Now turn the fabric over onto the other side, and laying it down the other side up...as you can see in figure 4. Now keep holding onto corners a,b,c, and d, and then turn down a triangle towards the center. Now the hat should look like figure 5 . Now with your fingers holding AC and BD, roll XY three or four times as pictured in figure 6. Now while holding onto the corners of the hood, place it onto your head and tie it under your chin. This is a great looking hood and you made it all on your own. Once you get used to it, it is very easy to make this hooded hat over and over again.

Making a no-sew fleece blanket is suggested, because it requires less labor and time, as compared to the one that is conventionally stitched in a sewing machine. Moreover, it is easy to make an economical too.
