Evenstar Criss-Cross Hat

Many moons ago, my good friend Arwen asked me to make her a hat. She didn't ask for anything specific; in fact, she said, "I want it to be a completely inspired hat by you."

Now THAT is a project I can get behind! I have to admit... I don't always love making special requests that are very prescriptive, since most of the fun of crochet for me is dreaming up new ideas.

Anywho, I noticed some newer cable hats that seem to be crisscrossed so I thought that would be a fun challenge to tackle. Here is some detail... gag, sorry for the dark lighting! Here is a side-by-side view of the Evenstar crochet hat and a knit crisscross hat from Urban Outfitters. Dang do I look tan... and happy! That pale girl looks sad... she wishes she had a handmade Teabeans hat instead.

Oh... BTW... suckafish... nobody officially took me up on my barter offer. So I bought it. I guess I know how much a Teabeans hat is worth to you... well I can approximate... and it's less than $26.50 (+ shipping and handling). Just so you know, Teabeans ain't no charity.

Love you... mean it... and go heart your own city.
