Felted Hat

It's not knitted, but it is finished!

Not knitted? It's nice!

[Antares]

Shhhh! It's crocheted.

Thanks, Jan!

[Lana]

WOW!!! That's really nice.

Somehow it never occurred to me that crochet could also be felted.
Is it made from a written pattern?

[Antares]

Lana,

Thank you for your kind comments.

The pattern is from the January 2007 Crochet! Magazine. However, you might be able to find something similar online.

I used a size I crochet hook and double crochet throughout (except for the part that was not wool for which I used single crochet and a size H needle to make the gauge come out right post-shrink).

Wish I could post the pattern, but, of course, it's copyrighted.

I'll make sure my "felting knitting" friend sees your hat.

I need to pop into the crocheting forum more often to see what's happening there.
