Cashmere beanie and shower curtain: cleaning and care

Cashmere beanie hat went in the washing machine by mistake and shrank. Is there any way to gently stretch it back to the right size?

Red lip gloss mark on white shower curtain, hasn't come out with make-up remover, bathroom cleaner, bleach or in the washing machine. Anything else we can try?

Lukewarm water in a washing up bowl with a tablespoon of hair conditioner and a tablespoon of white vinegar. Lay the beanie on top of the water and let it soak into the bowl naturally to ensure the fibres get properly permeated.

Leave for 24 hours. Drain off the water and lay the beanie on a clean dry towel and roll it to absorb excess moisture. Then on another dry towel or part of the towel gently stretch to original size, leave to dry flat on the towel and while it's damp keep occasionally stretching to size. You could even cut out a cardboard circle and pop it inside to stretch and dry?

For the lipgloss mark, try sunlight. Even putting the shower curtain folded up with the stain showing in a windowsill that gets daylight may be enough.
