Now, since I hadn't learned my lesson on handspun hats yet, I decided Megan Rosie needed one just like mine. I spun some plain brown alpaca two ply, and plied some of the alpaca singles with some blue marino/silk singles and started on another pointy-top, longer-in-the-back crocheted hat. That back part never did quite hug the head like I wanted, and it kept flipping out like some weird hairdo. In the end, I quit ripping and re-crocheting and just finished it. It gets worn when the kids can't find a different hat, but I'm afraid it's another closet decoration, for the most part.
What I learned from this hat: Alpaca is limp, not bouncy. If you want your little girl to wear it, don't use brown and blue. (Duh.)
