A friend’s mom made a few of these hats freehand and sent me a prototype to reverse engineer.

1) Made a hat using supersaver and charted everything out. It works but I hate RHSS and it’s still tight and won’t block because it’s RHSS.

2) doing another one using Malabrigo Rios. Making the hat part first, then will go back and make the bottom parts. Might have to do the bottoms first, but we’ll see.
- using matisse blue to start, ordered Denim and Bobby Blue.

3) might try and make another Aran one but we’ll see. Tried CO 122 and it’s huge for worsted/dk weight. Rios is more like DK.
