Notes

My third Marsan, this time intended for my mother-in-law’s British, shanty-singing fella, Bruce. Unfortunately, I did not refer to my previous project notes - which could be paraphrased as “Whoa, this sucker is small. Cast on 97-stitches instead, fool.”

Oops.

Modeled by my narrow-headed husband - and already a mite tight on him. Blockedin an attempt to make the hat Bruce-sized, lest I have to cast on another.

Calico included for scale.
