Notes

I found this soft and nice yarn in my stash, but it has colours I will never wear (not a fan of pastels). Because I thought it must be nice to work with because of its softness, I want to use it for a non-garment.

I’m curious how the tucking-away part of this item works. It looks really nice.

Changes to pattern

Only used pattern instructions for bottom, improvised from there. Changed to smaller hook at the top net section so it keeps its shape better, then added a solid border and handles.

Originally I wanted to make the tuck-away part but wanted to be finished with the project after such a long time.

Very happy with the result though. Seems to be the perfect size and shape. Even fits my mannequin as a fashionable hat. (See photo)

September 4, 2020

I broke my hook’s handle while working on this and after a couple of attempts to fix it, I gave up and bought a new one. By that time the project had been tucked away (… pun intended) somewhere and I had forgotten where. When I found it, the printed pattern had got lost.That’s why it took so long to get back to it.
