Hats, hats and, oh yes, more hats!
Mermaid Hat
I made this when I got horrendously bored at the start of my college term. Which should not make sense since college is supposed to keep you entertained.
It’s an adaptation from the Pomatomus sock made by the wonderful, Cookie A.I wish I was smart enough to actually have done that myself, but it was actually Kristy Pederesen who did the work for me. I´d been eyeing the Pomatomus sock for some time now but never had to nerve to start on it due to my fear of top down socks. I´m glad I gave it a test whirl with this hat though because the twisted rib makes the pattern pop in a lovely way.
It´s made from non descriptive fingering weight black acrylic, which means I did block it with heat and it now doesn’t stretch either which way. Which is fine because it fits like a glove.
Though it fits very well I prefer to wear it with the brim turned up because it’s just a tad too long and I rather prefer being able to actually see where I’m going at time.
The problem really is that I can´t remember when I actually made this. I´m guessing September because my hair was that colour back then, but I´m not too sure.

Spring Time Cabernet
This hat was made with love for the mother of my step-dad, who I just call Gran because it’s easier. Sadly, it looks horrendous on her, so I’m expecting it will be given away to my niece. I’m not too happy about it, but at least the hat will be worn.
I really love the pattern though so I might just make one for myself one day.
