We conquered Mt. Pulag and my things to bring include 2 beanies or bonnets. Of course, being a refashionista, I cannot forgive myself if I buy one when I have lots of time to prepare and it's so easy to make!
Enter the bra top.
I found this bra top in our cabinet. It seems crocheted from a stretchy material. Perfect for a beanie!
So first, I cut the straps connected to the back.
Then, sew the side of the cups to the part where the straps used to be connected.
Also, sew the V at the front together.
The idea is to form a dome out of the material.
The result looks like this!
But it looks a little flat and the bunging of the top doesn't look nice to me. So I took 2 blue rubber bands and took the bunging parts together as I would make pigtails.
So now it looks like this!
I retained the straps so that it looks like a tail of the beanie.
Here I am selfieng with the beanie!
More view of the top!
I lent this beanie to my officemate who forgot to bring hers during the Pulag Trip. But she did not like the ears. hehe. Here are her pics wearing it.

| There it is fourth from the left. It looked slouchy without the ears. |
I will definitely put those ears back when she returned it. Hehe. And I will update this post one I get a chance to wear it. Promise!
