i am a hat making genius! ...and a huge dweeb. :)

i just finished this one tonight. i also did this one on circular needles, although i saved myself a lot of headache and got double pointed needles to finish off the top.

i made a brim on it with a garter stitch, then, just to amp up the girlishness (cause i am, in fact, a girl) i sewed on a cluster of knit daisies. i found a really cool tutorial on you tube here: felted flower tutorial

im debating if i want to felt it or not. ...i think i do. opinions?

you are a hat making genius! the cluster of knit daisies is a great touch. i don't know what felting means, but i say go for it!

This is WAY cute too!

Felt the whole hat? It will shrink up way small if you do. like baby size.

ryc... I'm not sure exactly how much bigger, but bigger and knit on bigger needles so the fabric is loose. I made Jaro a pair of felted slippers and they were Ginormous! I'll send ya a picture.
