I Made a Hat!

Not sure if the 'sewing' tag is the correct one for my crochet stuff, but I suppose in my head it's an all encompassing 'stuff I've done using fabric' term! Anyway, it's my blog, let me do what I want! Also, I'm not sure how long I'll stick with crochet for, so be a bit silly to make a tag for it if I only ever do like 5 projects- but who knows... I'm very much enjoying it at the moment- all new and exciting stuff.

As the title would suggest, this is my first 'proper' project if you like, rather than the test pieces I wrote about in my previous post. I followed this idea, kind of, but also ad libbed in places, but because this is the closest thing to it, then it's only fair I link/ credit the creator.

I used white and a dark-ish green for my design, not because they are my favourite colours, but because the green one was on offer and I thought the white would go nicely alongside it! But, I do think the colours look good together and it is a hat I would wear. In theory. Unfortunately the one I made ended up being a bit too big. But, I am not going to unravel it, as it's still an achievement and I'm still really proud that I made it. It's something I can learn from and develop as I get better at the craft. I'm already excited to start the next piece- not too sure whether I should try another hat straightway, or try making an amigurumi plush that I have a pattern for. Decisions, decisions...

Below is the final piece, followed by a couple of work in progress pictures.
