I made this hat by knitting a regular tube and then knitting several long rectangular locks off the top. I tied them all together and then felted the thing in the washing machine.
I've gone back on a sock binge, I'm afraid. I'm working on one pair for Erik (not these) and I'm planning to make a slew of little baby socks for the not-yet-born wee one of Nina and Derrick. More pictures coming soon.
