I recently sent these hats off to KZN. They were for an order I received.
They’re very bright and colorful, which is not my usual go-to style. I tend towards more neutrals. I’m happy to have been nudged out of my comfort zone, though.
They are really fun to make, and I can imagine many more hats in my near future.
A matching beach bag would finish the story off really nicely. If only I had as many hours as I have ideas.
These hats also look much better on someone’s head than they do lying flat. I need to up my photography skills…and find a willing model. My sons aren’t up to the challenge (thank goodness).
For these hats I used a double strand of crochet No5 yarn, and a 4mm hook. They are a simple double crochet (English) stitch, made in the round. The next one a make will have a brim that’s not so wide.
