I wanted to show you what you inspired me to make for my son last Christmas! On a Thanksgiving trip to Mexico, just the two of us made a very difficult climb up a mountain—quite an adventure. I remembered your idea so made my own version, using the cable part of one sweater to represent the trail that wasn’t always clear and had us blazing through switchbacks. The very top was icy, so I used your idea of a “cap.”
He loves this so much, it was one of the last things packed and first unpacked when he went to college last week, and he proudly told his roommate, “my mom made this!”

That is awesome! I love your mountain cushion the addition of the trail is genius what a lovely personal pillow. That's funny too as my son insisted on taking the sweater felt rug with him to college for his room!

I line my dogs winter coats and make them turtlenecks with my old sweaters. My dogs love them and I know they are warmer. ❤️

That sounds like a fabulous idea.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
When I saw these, my first thought they were up-cycled winter knit hats. The pillows would be smaller, but I wonder if those would work? Would they need to be wool?
Hills instead of mountains? lol
