Only slightly better than a ruined hat...

I finished R's new hat and she was very happy.  But then I had this half-ruined hat sitting around.  I was kind of frustrated with myself still so I threw it in the wash again to see if it would felt more.  Then I kind of shaped it like a bowl and left it until I could figure out a plan.

Liz suggested in previous comments that someday the baby could wear the first hat and my husband found my half-felted bowl and wondered if I was trying to make a top hat.

And really, doesn't every single baby need a top hat?  It looks more like a bowler on her...
