Beaniemania 2

Megan asked for a hat, but after her incredible pickiness about the neck warmer I was reluctant to make any special hand spun for one. I had a bunch of donated yarn left over from the fiber class, acrylic novelty super soft fuzzy stuff, and a dark pink chenille. I put the two together and did a half double crochet version of the previous hat. She wanted ear-warmer flaps on it, so we did that. Now it needs big floppy tassel of some kind on top. I was thinking of using just one of the yarns, maybe the chenille, because I'm concerned about how that fuzzy stuff will wear. Shall I make it long and hanging down, or puffy and attached tight to the top? I'm up for ideas, so hit the comments!

I vote for one big puffy one tight on the top, or how about three about the size of eggs. One tight to the top and the other two down on a string equal distances from each other and the top one?

That's perfect. I was thinking one really big fuzzy puffy one, attached tight. I like the three, though. I'll let Meg choose. Another choice is color - that light baby pink is fluffy bumpy yarn, and the deep raspberry is chenille. I think I'll use the pink.
