Knitting Started: October 15, 2009

Finished: November 13, 2009

Made for: Heather

Yarn: Bernat Satin (100% acrylic; 163yds = 100g)
  • 1 skein of "Ebony" = 163 yds
Notes: This is such a neat patt! H will love; especially the beads!
10/29: Just put up pic of beginning of hat :) It looks silly right now, but once waste yarn (pinky color) is gone will be fine :)
11/01: Adding in progress pic; hard to see anything in black yarn, however :(
11/10: Knitting finished; have to insert elastic & sew on beads :)
11/13: Done! All beads on :) Pics tomorrow :) 

Additional photos:
Beginning of hat with icord of waste yarn. It is knit crown down.
10/29: The odd looking beginning

In progress: unfortunately the photo resembles a black blob
11/01: Not much to look at so far

With a light color behind it, the lacy lattice-work and picots of the lower part of the hat show up nicely.
11/10: Almost done!

Close up to show the seed beads sewn into the leafy crown of the hat.
11/12: So many beads!

Retouched the color of the photo so the seed beads in the  crown are more visible.
Played with the color of this photo to try to show the beads better
