Stylin like it’s Vatican 3!
Another hat tonight, this one I call Funky Forest. The solid parts are more burgundy than the picture shows. Here’s a view of it on with more accurate colors.
It uses the Colinette Five Point in colorway Forest (hence the name) and is a variation of the hip-hop pope hat(tm Khaman) of several weeks ago. I didn’t have bulky yarn in a color I liked for the brim and crown, so I doubled a strand of worsted. It made the hat a little heavier than one strand of bulky, but it’s a little more visually interesting and is still acceptable weight. Also, I wanted to funkify it a little more, so I picked up a row of stitches (hard to explain briefly) to make the top ridge pop out more, and at the top I decreased to four stitches and then made a couple of rows of i-cord for a little stem.
This one’ll come to Simucon too. I have plenty of other projects I should be working on, but I just HAD to use some of the Colinette! I officially love it.
I like it. Funky Forest is definitely accurate (I picture ‘Deep Forest’ cds with pygmy chants), although I could also see a Santa Elf knocking over a little old lady to steal it for his own. So now, maybe, hip-hop Santa. Fa shizzle yer toy weenie-whistle!
Santa rockin’ da house,
not even da mouse,
Could keep him from bustin’ his tunes
while leavin da toy balloons!
So ya betta not pout, yo,
and ya dang well betta not cry,
Cuz Santa’s coming this way, y’hear,
and that mofo is packin’ heat this year!
This may be an actual Detroit carol. Yes, I can make that joke. I should really go to bed now. Mmmyep. Goofiness aside, I really like the color flecks.
