My First Hat

This was my first blocked hat from a cream velour hood.  I didn't know at the time that velour was from rabbit fur!  So all my subsequent projects are made from sheep wool or other natural fibres.

 The flower is one I crocheted from Rowan kid silk haze. 

 The beaded trim I purchased by the metre.  The brim is edged is a satin type dress fabric that I bought to make a blouse - years ago!
