I've had many requests for this hat, which I've crocheted before, so I've decided to develop the pattern. I also wanted the brim to have some stiffness, so I'm experimenting with the nylon "string" that is used in my lawn edge trimmer. It's available at most hardware stores. Here is my first attempt...

Great work, fabulous idea, ingenious use of media.
Thanks! I'm always looking for new ways to do things.

Well the hat looks great. I can see why you get so many requests! And I agree, ingenious use of materials!
Lawn mower...yikes, if only it were warm enough now. lol
How clever you are.

Love the hat! Did you by chance write up the pattern since then?
Amazing hat, I have been looking for one exactly like this :) Any chance I could get the pattern?
Thank you. The pattern is available from my Etsy and Ravelry stores.
