Here’s Pippi

Posted on December 30, 2008 | 11 Comments

The hat is finished! DH says I look like Pippi Longstocking in it, so Pippi is her name.

Crochet edging took care of the curling issues. I tried single crochet, but it didn’t have enough oomph to tame the curl, so half double crochet is the winner here. The hat is really fun to wear, even though I don’t wear hats.

Now I want to make it again, a little bigger, a few tweaks…but I have another project that I promised myself I would finish by New Year’s Day, so that one is first in line.

    It’s pretty! Bright colors are perfect on a cold dreary day.
