New Crochet Hat
Here's my new hat I've been working on lately. It is made up of 5 big points(like mini witch hats) and 3 small ones, 3 flowers, and a sort of crocheted tube that comes out of a part of the hat and goes back into the hat at the other end. the whole thing is crocheted except for the design part (like the dino and hearts) I have a small knitting machine (you turn this handle and the tiny knitted tube comes out the other end). Well I did that in one very long piece a few meters with about 7 different yarns(but the whole hat has much more than that) and then applied it to the project by crocheting it to the project making loopty loops and designs including an L, a dino, some hearts, swirls and waves. I think it is a pretty cool technique.
