    There's a rule of thumb that some knitted items shrink to about 50 percent original size when felted. I think the circumferential shrinkage was a little less, but the vertical/radial was very impressive. OF course the trick is to stop when it's just small enough.

    Indeed! I wish now that I'd had SWMBO take a picture of the proto-bonnet covering my head. Ah well, one day I'll make a plain blue one, and I'll be sure to get a photo. In the photo referred to, I had stuffed an old shirt in it, so that it'd sit on my head.
