WEARABLE OR DISPLAY HAT

The design can be made as a wearable hat when crocheted to the appropriate head measurement.

It can also be turned into a decorative display piece using additional stuffing, wire or tubing to help maintain the dramatic shape.

FINISHING AND SHAPING

The pattern includes detailed finishing instructions for shaping the crooked tip, opening the raised ridges, forming the uneven brim, securing the thorn vine and positioning the decorative elements.

For a softer version, the pattern recommends acrylic yarn, looser tension and omitting the internal wire and brim tubing.

For a stiffer version, you can use tighter tension, a smaller hook, wool-blend yarn, fabric stiffener, wire in the tip and poly tubing in the brim.

The final hat should not be blocked perfectly flat. The crooked, spooky and handmade character is an intentional part of the design.
