Placing the paper pattern and resist under bubblewrap...
...and covering them with strips of pre-felt...
...in a grid-like pattern.
I make one 'left side' and one 'right'...
...and top them both with a layer of white merino roving.
After wetting the project down...
...I add a second layer of roving...
...and roll the project until it's at the pre-felt stage.
The finished pre-felt grid (design side)...
...and back side.
Hanging the wet pre-felt on a length of PVC pipe to dry.
Checking the monkey head placement on my paper pattern...
...and cutting the pre-felt to size.
Covering the 'left side' with the the foam resist...
...and trimming the second piece...
...to cover the 'right side' of the hat.
Next time: I begin my layout for the body of the hat.
