Garden Party Sun Hat

[kookaloo_starr]

My friend Carol made me a sunhat recently and I loved it so much I had to make myself another one to the same pattern

 

it's the Garden Party hat from My Little City Girl.

I used a mystery slub cotton from my stash and a 3.75mm hook. I haven't decided if I'm adding any embellishment to it as yet,though my Beloved says I ought to add some ribbon

That's lovely, and now you have a great excuse to throw an outdoor party!

[kookaloo_starr]

Ah, if only the weather would cooperate

[Katie G]

Your hat looks great!

 

I started one for my granddaughter but couldn't get the size to come out right. Either too big or too small. It's in hibernation now, got sick of frogging, but I will get back to it someday. I just love the pattern.

Gorgeous hat! I agree with the person who said you should have a party. I'm in CA & it isn't quite summer here yet either. The weather has been mostly way below normal. But I won't complain because I had a major back operation a few weeks ago & I have to wear a hot plastic brace until September....

You did a beautiful job, it's so pretty.

I absolutely love that hat and you did a great job on it.

 

I do think that it is one pattern that really cries for embellishments... so whatta you gonna add

I had the same problem either too big or too small. I used the yarn they recommended and it came out giagantic so I ripped it and did it again with a smaller hook and it still came out to big. The one Kookaloo made came out a lot nicer than mine did. If you do try it again don't use the recommended yarn.
