Crochet Flower Pot
Sun Hat
Pattern adapted by Haley Waxberg
This pattern is an adaptation/vast improvement on the "Summer Breeze" hat
from Hooked Hats by Margaret Hubert, which i found at the
public library. I made Margaret Hubert's pattern to her gauge and specifications
and it turned out humungus and really heavy. grrr! I really really really needed
a hat to wear sailing on the weekends and I just couldn't give up on the
original style, it evokes something Prada in me. So i worked and re-worked it -
5 incarnations in total. I've used a smaller sized hook and a thinner yarn,
removed a shell stitch round for smaller sizes and adjusted the rounds for the
single crochet top. I also changed the yarn from a cotton/viscose bled to hemp.
Hemp is machine washable, durable and has an interesting texture that recalls
straw. The hat's pretty cool, i might have to make a matching bag. And for those
of you who are looking longingly but don't crochet - I pity the fool who don't
crochet! Seriously, it's really easy, take one class and you'll get it.
