I bought a bunch of these hats back in 2004 on NS.

Still giving them away for Xmas presents.

Great & beautiful handmade toques... nice quality.

They do fit a little tight on average. Ask for loose fit.

**skuff** · 10-23-2009, 02:45 PM

Those look great. PM sent.

with this new yarn they are going to have a looser but better fitting fit than any hat you have ever had. it wont fall off either unless u bail hard. or someone steals it off your head.

the stuff i used to use was about 2 dollars to make hat from unless you ended up with some vermont wool.

rad thanks tro !! the blue one fit the lady well, i made her that hat in the parking lot of the post office. ended up having to make 3 hats because i didnt have yarn at the house, so i did them in the post office parking lot so i could walk in at closing time.

thanks for the support. dont forget about xmas

i have invested in a decent amount of merino wool, if anyone desires that i have black, red, rust, forest green. its a bit more expensive though, i wont know for certain until i make a hat and see how much yarn it uses. id say around 6 - 8 dollars more for it

Merino
a fine-woolled sheep with unpigmented hooves used for fabric wool; males are usually horned (polled strains are available), females are polled. Originated in Spain, now many ethnic varieties. Classes of Australian merinos include Superfine (18 microns), Medium (20-22 microns), and Strongwoolled (23-25 microns). Other strains exist, e.g. Booroola, which has a much better fertility performance than average merinos.

****on a side note, i will be out of town for a week starting tuesday. if you paid today, i ship monday, then i wont be able to answer messages or crochet for a week. THANKS!

ok hard to believe, but MULTIPLE people asked for a canadien flag hat for the olympics. here is the best that i could do doing it all handmade, incorporated into the hat. probably the best i could do with out using a premade patch.

this hat took 3 hours to make. brim would be about 4 hours. its merino too. so these hats end up being pretty expensive.......

THey look dope, PM sent!

**colby** · 10-26-2009, 12:57 PM

Could you pull off the brown and orange one with no brim but still have the orange go around the bottom? Orange bottom, 2-3 lanes of brown then 2-3 of orange then cap off the rest brown?

And now I cant decide between the above or the green and off white, even the 2010 canada one's giving me the eye now.

**smuggs** · 10-26-2009, 12:58 PM

yes i can

**adrenalated** · 10-26-2009, 01:22 PM

Can you do them without a pom? May custom order one regardless.

**bobbuilds** · 10-26-2009, 01:28 PM

ill hats. waiting on the wife to pick one already.

how hard is it to turn that Pom into a tassle?

**smuggs** · 10-26-2009, 02:57 PM

tassle = not hard

no pom = easier for me they all come with them instincively. but they are easily removed.

**the_clizz** · 10-26-2009, 03:00 PM

smuggs--super excited to get my hat! did it go out today?(green and brown custom)

**marshalolson** · 10-26-2009, 03:44 PM

YES! SO STOKED! This is awesome. Thanks for all the help, this could turn into a solid venture. I might have to quit my job, at least go to part time......This is way more fun than bussing tables . Direct output direct input great. 1 week to collect (or lose) myself at the phish festival, but i shall return. Thanks everyone!

**colby** · 10-27-2009, 12:38 AM

you gotta figure out a way to put together some kind of custom hat for fest 8. Similar to that 2010 hat, fest 8 or phish8 on one side and there's your ticket.

"8"

turns out making hats for you guys probably will lead to better things now and down the road than making a comparable amount of hats for random wooks.
