Notes

Another Math Hat. I do love these hats. It both appeases my desire for combining all the yarns, in the easiest way possible (woo, stripes!), but doesn’t allow me to get trapped in the ‘everything must be symmetrical omg’ thing I sometimes do, because it’s not random, it’s math

I think this is my favourite colour combo yet…

This time around we’ve got Tau, which thanks to the ever informative (and entertaining!) Vi Hart, I learned about it recently. It’s basically 2π, or τ! I had a lot of trouble with radians in Trig, so I quite like the idea of Tau. Maybe I’ll wear it on Tau Day (28th of June)

Math!

Pretty much identical to my other math hats, but this time I used a 1.5 needle for the brim (and did) about 10 extra rows than I would on the 3s. Then I did the top of the hat like normal on the 3s.

Total weight is 38g
