I went to Joann's yesterday armed with my 25% off coupon and planning on only two things. Which of course meant that I ended up with two bags full of things that I just had to have. One of those being cotton yarn for a beachy hat, which now needs its ribbon and picture taken, it's basically an adult cream colored version of this hat.
That's going to have to wait until this upcoming week and my three exams are over. In the meantime I'm going to be learning all about the muscles that let me wield my crochet hook to make these things. Extensor digitorum and Palmaris Longis here I come...
Hmmm... You could use yarn, but a much thinner yarn, and then use big needles (if you're knitting... or I guess a big hook if you're crocheting).
ReplyDeleteI was thinking something along those lines (large cotton thread) before and now I'm back to that again.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is working on a beach hat for me! I think she mentioned using raffia.
ReplyDeleteThat's another one that I was thinking about trying...
ReplyDeleteI love this hat....do you share the pattern for it?..I also shop at our local JoAnn's. Really like your blog!
