I'm going to be attempting this hat in a couple of weeks.<br />I have also, more or less successfully, DONE the view A of the Vogue hat, in yellow and cream felt with brown binding. What I found, after swearing at the instructions innumerable times, is that its sort of like a giant bow. The tails of the brim twist and slip through the loop like the ends of a 'false' bow. Not well explained, but maybe view it from a different perspective. It is very dramatic, even if not 100%tre to the pattern.<br /><br />Remember, nobody but YOU knows its not "supposed" to look like that!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022227278985004203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913547348799795962.post-30863713084134545592011-06-24T09:40:51.812-07:002011-06-24T09:40:51.812-07:00I started it but haven't finished it yet.
