A bit of Kiwi ingenuity is all you need to turn a run-of-the-mill woollen blanket into a stylish bucket hat.
The bucket hat is said to have been introduced in 1900 and was adopted as a ladies' fashion item in the 1960s, but is the downward sloping brim coming backin style?
Polly Inglis, based in Queenstown, shared a video of her homemade hat on the social media platform TikTok last month.

The project starts out with a pink gingham woollen blanket which is then cut into different shapes for the top, headband and brim.
Earlier this year, a Kiwi toddler's foul-mouthed response to a visiting goat went viral, despite her mother's insistence that the animal was "just a goat".
Christchurch mum Sophie Smith was at home with 2-year-old daughter Ivy when the intruder appeared.

She used her cellphone to record the scene as she exclaimed: "It's a f***ing goat!"
Not missing a beat, her daughter copied her and said: "A f***ing goat's outside".
