Still needs some shaping of course. Looks good RT! I'd love to get a copy of that pattern if you're going to make it available. Been wanting to make one like that for myself for quite some time but haven't found the right pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSJackson Report post Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah that's awesome for a first time hat. Especially if you just up and made your own pattern. +1 on the pattern too, I want to make something like this also but I have no clue where to even start with making a pattern for a hat.
