My 1st version of the hat isn't quite finished as i can't decide about the trailing threads - do i embellish the surface with spirals or just hide them?
The pattern i used started out on rows 1 to 8 from a book, and they said "chunky" yarn. I thought 10ply was chunky, but it quickly became obvious that it isn't, so i just crocheted on until it fitted by adding increases after about the 8th row as an experiment and it seems to have worked! I can't follow a recipe and it looks like i can't follow a pattern either!
Next exciting installment will be the random increase/decrease flip-top mitts i did by the same method....... and after that there is the really wonky lava & lichen strip (not a scarf, guys, i don't wear scarves!).
CREDITS:
while i have attempted crochet a number of times in the last few years nothing has stuck. Linda tried with hyperbolic crochet and it was good but failed to stick in my mind; i tried a tute at a craft show with Nikki - didn't stick.........but THANKS to Amazing Anna i'm off and running (starting on a JUMPER for my next project!!)
