This all started on a facebook post when a few of the gals decided that they wanted to complete a hat to wear at Fringe. It is done in a J&P Coats ecru Size 10. The pattern is by Jan Stawasz and in the model it fits down on the eyebrows.
I have done a few of his patterns before and knew that he pulls his chains really tight so I did this but still the pattern seemed too large. I had to omit the last row of chains and adjust those split ring rows to get a fit.

Someone had suggested that I make a lining but I found this no label ball cap and it made sense to attach the lace to it. Now I need to finish by putting some embellishment on the brim.
I will be wearing it this week.
It's a cute hat and you'll look great in the red ball cap with ecru lace! Red looks good on everybody. :) Love it! I might 'need' to go dig out my books and try my hand at tatting that hat.

If you do tat it, check for size as you go along.

ReplyDeleteGood way to finish the tatted hat off, it’s splendid.
ReplyDeleteThanks I thought it might be too much but it does look good and will stay cleaner.
DeleteI like the idea of putting embellishments to the brim it would give it a flapper look and that's fun!
ReplyDeleteThat project can be for another day.
