The finished hat...
...shown here...
...in daylight...
...in order to properly parade...
...its rather shocking colors! :)
The sturdier wool that I used for the horns...
...provided a firmness and structural support...
...that superfine merino would not have...
...and I think you have to look pretty hard...
...to see the color variation.
To get a good fit...
...I hand-stitched the hem after trying it on for size.
So that you could see it in situ...
...I enlisted my eldest daughter as a model...
...and afterwards, she decided that she rather enjoyed wearing it...
...and would like to keep it. :)
It suits her, don't you think?
