Cloche Hat

Cloche Hat
Originally uploaded by Baigneuse.

My second foray into felting. When I finished the hat was over a foot long and fit over my head like a ski mask. I contemplated either A: Felting it or B: Cutting out eyeholes and starting a life of crime. I went with the hat and this is my result. I used a double strand of Lamb's Pride Worsted in Onyx and Lotus Pink. The pattern is from http://crystalpalaceyarns.com/cpy/patterns/iceland-splash-feltedhat.html. I may use some of the leftover pink to knit and felt a rose to wear on the side of the hat. We shall see.
