I also crochet

TD asked me if I could make her a Christmas tree hat. When designing three-dimensionally, I am more comfortable with the immediate results of crochet. I used buly acrylic because she's wool-sensitive, and made a structure of 6 triangles with projecting points.





To make it more versatile, I made the ornaments detachable. The garland is fastened to the "star" button on the top of the tree and twined around. The ornaments are buttons joined together with a shank of quilting thread and buttoned through the texture of the fabric. Some of the shirt buttons got embellished with beads. so she can wear it festive, or she can wear it subdued and plain just for warmth.


I relished the challenge, and had a ball with it! Crochet has the body to stand up. Now I'm wondering about a knitted version.
