LATTICE SHELL FLAPPER HAT

LATTICE SHELL FLAPPER HAT

by Gloria Clayton

The white hat is made with I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby.

The cream color is a cotton/acrylic blend that was a bag of mill ends so I cannot give any help with where to buy it.  The ornamentation on the bow and flower are old brooches.

Worsted weight yarn and an H hook

I used I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby for the white hat

NOTE: After round 1 if you count as you do the repeats they equal 

the same amount of dcs as the round number....Rnd 7.....5 individual 

dcs + 2 dcs in one dc equal 7! Also in the increases, you have the 

one lonely beginning dc and the one lonely ending dc which will 

make your first increase. You will work the last dc before the ch2 

where it looks like there is a left over stitch. Always join in the first 

dc, the ch 2 is not counted as a stitch but hides the gap in the 

rounds! Magic Circle is optional you may make a ch 4 and sl st 

together if you prefer to begin in that manner.

Mad for Hats!

I guess everyone knows I am hat crazy, but few know why.  From the time I was a baby my Auntie Lois would put some kind of hat, bow, band on my head.  I think being from the south, in those years, it was a given that you had a hat on! Especially for Sunday go to meetin'.  I think I must have been amazed and in awe of some of the fanciful hats all around me. 

And so I find it necessary to make some of those awesome hats. Unless especially requested, I simply cannot leave a hat unadorned!

So today I simply give you a selection of a very few I have made the past year. Some I have written patterns for and hope to have them on my blog very soon!

Happy Thursday everyone!! And have a blessed day!
