Gwennabe Zim Hat!

[Flapperjakk]

Alas! Another hat I designed! The title was inspired by lisascenic's split Gwen Stefani & Liz Zimmerman personality ... also Gwen's latest Louis Vuitton blue, white n' black corset thing-a-ma-jig she wore.

Right now the black crochet bow tie is temporary until I can get my mits on some black ribbon... also debating whether or not to make a black pom-pom for the top of it. hmm... decisions, decisions!

Good lord, woman! You are a hat factory! And they are all SO very cool! I love your style; they look great on you!

That is utterly gorgeous! I like it without the pompom--very sophisticated. And the colors are perfect. Nice selection. Gwen Stephanie is a great fashion resource and i can see the inspiration there.

I think this is my favorite hat I've ever seen posted on Craftster--you RULE!

Sooooo cute!  Looks fab on you, too.  The colors are great, just everything.  I love it!

What kind of stitch did you use for the white part?

[beebiz]

You friggen rock!  Your stuff amazes me!   Quite a talent there missy....I love the hat.  I am in the middle of my first sweater, and I have to admit, I miss the quickness of a hat.  Ah well...Keep up the great work.

Thanx so much guys!!! I'm wow'd that it wow'd you! So now I'm all wow'd!

Stripey cat -- I used an alternating slip stitch for the white part so it'd come out looking like lace

row 2: *k1, yo, skp* (repeat from *)
row 3: k
row 4: *yo, skp, k* (repeat from *)
row 5: k

row 7: k

Murmur J from Spun mag asked me to submit a pattern, so I'm potentially thinking about submitting this one.

Flapperjakk,
I've been watching all your knitted goodies... they are all beautiful, nice work.

A ribbon would be pretty, but I kinda like the "floppy" quality of the crocheted bow.  Love the hat overall.

Flapper, that's so very gorgeous.  I really like how you have the seed stitch border extend up just beyond the white part.  That's a really nice detail. (It might not be seed stitch, but you know what I'm talking about, right?)  Also, I vote yes to ribbon and no pompom.  It's really sophistiated that way. 

I think this hat would be great for Spun!

That is one of the best hats I've ever seen, anywhere! And you are just so fab with your cute bob and pearls! Definately keep posting pics of everything you do because all of your projects are inspiring. kisses!
