Where I wonder if I’ll ever feel warm again

Knit + Crochet hat

Wearing a hat helps :)

I first knit the hat using the green knifty knitter. To reduce bulkiness at the top, I switched from in the round to flat panel knitting, and knit four triangles at the top. I then seamed the triangles together to make a smooth, rounded top.

I then crocheted 2 sc stitched per each loop on the bottom, and then added another row of sc. Finally, I winged a brim, of which I’ll never be able to re-produce :P

The “buttons” are actually these seed pods I’ve been collecting from around San Francisco. I cleaned them, sanded the bottoms down, and dremeled a hole through the sides. I wish I had better pictures, but all I have so far are from my NY trip. It was COLD and WINDY there!

    during my first winter in nyc, i frequently asked myself whether i would ever be warm again…

    i’m an sf transplant, enjoying your gorgeous hat. and looove your use of the ubiquitous eucalyptus pods, which will wreck your bike tires and may help keep fleas away :)
