I had originally intended this hat to be for the Tallest as a Christmas present, but the making of the dolls became my priority.
I was happily following the pattern as found in The Children’s Year, when the Tallest duly informed me after looking at the pictures, that she wouldn’t wear a hat that had a long tail, so rather than frog the whole thing, I have foreshortened the long tail at the back, so all but for a bit of additional rib around the collar to tidy things up it’s all but finished.
Next time I decide to make my girl a hat, I’m going to sit her down in front of the patterns before I make a decision!
