This looks so cute, Dot! I'm going to make it for the hat exchange over at Crochetville! I came to your site KNOWING I'd find something for my partner who likes close fitting hats like cloches or scullies! Plus it looks so easy and fast that I'll probably pick another one of your patterns for my partner! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! We love you! |
