finished can hat
Here it is, the finished camo can hat.
My husband, Tyrone, thinks it should be more top hat like. The previous hat I made was way too puffy on the top, so I wanted to make sure the top was tight on this one. I may have gone too far in that direction. The can hats from my youth were also tapered to get smaller near the top. Some part of me strives to emulate that memory.
Working on some pendants to list in the store tomorrow. I’ve got a few made with bittersweet!
Finally, along with applying for jobs, I’m working on a simple pattern for this recycled Christmas tree ornament.
The thing about patterns is that they must read like patterns. I could write: “do this stitch three times in the next 4 holes, and then 3 times in the next 5 holes, and then three times in the next 4 holes again,” but that is very confusing. Apart of the second pass in writing a pattern is finding out how to convert the line above to some repeatable progression.
The ornament is 5 inches high with a 2.5 inch diameter. The hanging loop is 3 inches long. Made from recycled Barnes & Noble bags!
