I've been creating some one-of-a-kind hand crocheted hats, which I've started listing on Etsy. They are crocheted with mainly with soft merino wool, and some also include silk and mohair. They are each embellished with special trims I've been hoarding - some vintage, some imported from France and Japan.
This particular hat is trimmed with 2 vintage velvet flowers, velvet leaves, and a peacock feather.
I have several similar hats that I've made for myself and I get compliments everywhere I go. It's nice to have a really good looking hat. If your hat is special then trust me - no one will notice if there is cat hair on your coat or if your shoes need a shine.
"A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothing and wearing a costume; it's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it's the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat."
