Hey Lilhatshack!

[yarnicopia]

I just managed to click on your link to your beautiful hats! (http://photobucket.com/albums/v439/lilhatshack/Completed%20Works/) I am drooling. I am a bit of a hat girl myself. I have a question for you or maybe anyone else that can answer.
Did you by any chance follow a pattern for this style hat I see on your page?
they look like 3dc clusters (http://photobucket.com/albums/v439/lilhatshack/Completed%20Works/?action=view&current=hannahpurple.jpg) and I just love that look. The stitch would match a shawl (http://www.yarnicopia.com/archives/00000036.htm) I did a while back. I would love to make a hat to match.
Also, while I am begging....can you please point me in the right direction of how to make them flowers I see on alot of your hats?
Them flowers sure do give them hats that extra punch! I love em!
You do beautiful work!

Yarnicopia / Yarngirl -

thanks for the great compliments!!! SO nice...sorry I just now saw this and have just clicked in this topic. This pattern is from the yarncat's webiste here (http://www.yarncat.com). She has alot of cool patterns and her instructions are easy and she's super nice! She sells her hats on ebay too! I think I can finish one now in about an hour and 1/2. Now the flowers are a different story. She has a flower pattern included with the pattern, but I tried it and it wasn't the look I was going for - although its very cute. The flower pattern on this hat is one I think I kinda winged. I'll look for a similar pattern and post it here.

Thanks again for the compliments - I just LOVE making hats and you should check out all the cool ones on Ebay - crochetbylorileigh (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3005&item=6706680925&rd=1) is one of my absolute favs...I love her stuff!
