I call this cap tapestry fusion because I started out with tapestry crochet, and then started getting impatient with the amount of time it was taking and didn't like the way the camo was pooling so I switched to just doing a few rows of each color and then did a few rows of slip stitch.
This is made with Redheart for the solid colors: black and two shades of green. and a Camo that I think was Bernat; but am not sure. For some reason the lighter green in the camo looks almost neon in the photo; it looks a bit better in person - just a lighter green. I was thinking of ripping it all out at first. Then just decided to finish it and see how it looks. It's pretty big, about 24 inch head circumference. Hopefully someone will like it at this summers farmer's market.
Here is a close up of the "brim" area. I did a row of skipping a SC using a chain instead and then in the next row did sc's and did a dc down into the skipped stitch. then did 2 slip stitch rows to end off. one into the back loop and the second row sl from back to front in the back loop to hopefull get it to lay flat instead of curing up.
Went to Michaels today and found Loops and Threads Charisma was on sale for 1/2 price...soooo....
Three Holiday, three Bouquet and two black.....Just couldn't pass up $1.99 each...but this is NOT helping me reduce my stash. My intention was to use up all the discounted Redheart I had bought in October before buying any more yarn....I'm getting buried in yarn...it's hiding in all kinds of places in the house.....gotta get to some high speed crocheting and get more stuff ready for the Farmer's Market in Spring. Now ...what to make...hats...headbands....scarves....fingerless mitts....mp3 cozies....tote bags.....so much yarn...so many places to go....where to start...I do not know......
