Art Deco Flapper Hat
Have slowed down on the knitting a bit,partly because its hard when you are being steamed by the weather,partly been in bed 2 weeks,except to run to the loo,and partly because i have fallen back in love with mini's.Have bought a new modern house,and have started the blog at www.thoroughlymodernmini's.blogspot.com.
So the hat was a ravelry pattern called Regina,fun to do,easy,and i used disco red sequin and baby red cotton for the band,black 100% oz wool for the hat.
Found it very hard using dpns,for the top of the hat,finished it 3 times and then found dropped stitches,so crocheted around the last stitches,effectivly sealing them off,the worked into every 2nd st,until 4 left,pulled yarn through,no more droppe
d stitches,you cant see it as its black,if you could it would be a design element,lol.
