Anyway I've been having problems with finding a hat that I liked, so I thought I would make one, and have been quite pleased with the results. It's a beeny hat, probably better for use in milder weather. I didn't follow any pattern for this one, but will definitely for the next, it was great to challenge myself and see what I could come up with. The great thing I am finding with crochet is that with a few tools you can make some beautiful things, and once you understand how to read the patterns then you are well away!
The flower is detachable so if you make a few that are different colours you have a new color combination every time. I will be adding some beads to the rim. The black wool has some silver thread running through though you can't see it in the picture.
I made the head out of recycled bags and paper mache, will let you see how it started out during the week, will be painting this as well...... I have been seeing how many things I can make out of recycled materials, anyway that's for another post. I hope you are having a blessed weekend, and wish all the mothers out there a very Happy Mothers Day for tomorrow!
