Notes

I’m very fond of ravens and crows, so here’s a hat to think of them.

23” fathoms 107 yds
silk velvet black 64 yds

Top decreases too sharp, need to lengthen them out more. Silk velvet is really more like sport weight so hat ended up at 24” instead of 23”
3 tries at modifying top pattern:
first hat-green
second hat-orange
third hat-blue

size 22”
groovy 103 yds
gloss 88 yds

size 21 with silk velvet to get size 22
blue: 96 yds
black 66 yds
