A Hat, A Hat.

Recently, I decided to take on new ventures and projects for stock items. My newest experiment has been hats. I had a customer for Avon request a hat. I told her I wasn't sure if it had been discontinued, and I would check for her, and she said "Well you make all of this jewelry, why don't you make me a hat? That way we both win?"

So, That being said, here is the hat venture. Below is a picture of the hat I made (The black one) and the she wanted (The purple and white ones)



My hat came out a little more slouchy than the ones in the picture, 1 because the Mark (Avon) hat was knit and mine was crochet, and 2 because I prefer the slouch look. Since the first hat was prototype, I made it for me to wear meaning I added two extra rows so it could slouch.

I am currently working on some flower patterns to find one I like enough to use on my hat.
