Instructions

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Outdoorsy, Cute, Hipster, Retro / Vintage, Romantic, Funky, Classic, Whimsical, Mod, Casual


Materials

any worsted yarn -- this hat uses soft sparkly yarn

What was your inspiration?

A relative with a control freak husband who doesn't let her have her own money.

Pattern from: "Gleeful Things" lovely website with Julie's cool free crochet patterns. www.gleefulthings.com

What are you most proud of?

I love secret compartments and pockets. This can hold a spare key & money so you don't have to carry a wallet. Just don't forget you have money in it!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I used very soft yarn with subtle sparkle in it for a little more special gift. Softer yarn feels better, has less body and "slouches" better. Use cheaper "stiff" worsted for more body.
