My freind Doug agreed to model the green pirate hat. I finished it last night and steam blocked it. This hat is so much fun to make. It turned out smaller than the black and white one because the green yarn was a slightly smaller gauge. I really need to make a least 2 more of these for nephews. This one will have to go to one of the younger ones because it should fit loosely. I will have to experiment with other yarns and/or needles on the others.
Here is a detail of the lining. I decided to do it with the green since I had a lot left over.I think the next one will be turquoise and black but the center row of skulls will be green. I'm pretty sure that I have enough of the green for that.
I can also picture this with a bright handpainted yarn for the skulls. Whadda ya think?
