Notes

The combination of Shibu and Rowan gave the hat a bit of substance, but it’s still a bit more floppy than I might have gotten using the suggested yarn. The photos in the pattern look a bit more structured than my finished project.

The photo shows what happens when two kitties decide to open up my project bag and have a fun time all over the house. The Rowan was relatively unharmed, but the Silk Cloud was EVERYWHERE and in many chunks.
