GreenerGreenie

My boyfriend asked me to make him another hat after his first handmade hat got lost. This two colour green hat is actually what he originally ordered from me, but as I told earlier I happened to make one extra hat while making my very first hat. Unfortunately though the OrangeBrownie was stolen. He really liked that hat.

Anyway, this hat was designed by both of us together. We even drew a picture of it with a computer, later it changed a little from the original plan. He insisted to have vertical stripes even if I tried my best to explain how much more effort it will take me. I guess it was worth it after all.
I was also originally supposed to make an inside part up to ears out of fleece, so it would be very worm winter hat and somehow more wind proof. But my attempt with his grandmothers old sawing machine didn't succeed that well neither did my hand sawing. Well, the later one I succeed to make quite well, but he didn't like the end result, how the hat was now too warm and how five centimetre stripe could be seen from outside. I guess I should have made a complete fleece hat under the woollen hat itself, but then it would have been too warm to wear anywhere other than above Arctic circle in the coldest time of the year.

Since the hat was made of two colours, it is warm enough itself for this Central European/Alpine/Mediterranean climate we have in here.
