The Other Red Hat (You'll like this one better)

On this day in 1942 in Nazi-occupied Norway, wearing knitted red hats as a sign of resistance had became so popular they were officially banned. Guess what? They’re needed again! So get yourself one of “the other” red hats and wear it proudly 🧶

Very cute! What's the stitch used for the basket? It looks almost like a mix between moss and a very small granny cluster

If you haven't discovered her already, check out TL Yarn Crafts. Toni is amazing! And tbh, granny squares are a good place to start for learning

Beautiful nails! Props to you for crocheting with them. I could never, I can't stand having long nails 😂

Gotta make sure the yarn doesn't...roll off the desk? Himb help!

Speaking of yarn, what're you using? I love the colour and it looks very soft!

I love the look! Makes me think of 80's outerwear. I especially like the checker pattern you have going on, very cool!

What stitch did you use for the ribbing? I'm also making a hat w/ Tunisian crochet and currently just plan on going with a slst blo brim because I found out the hard way that tunisian rib stitch is NOT stretchy

Making v2 of my Tunisian Melt the Ice hat! Doing a top down construction this time and really liking it! Solved the problem I had with v1 where the dec's were making holes I wasn't a fan of. Altho I lost yarn chicken on this one 😩 RIP

One of the things I'm changing on my v2 is actually switching over to a slst brim 😅 I like the look better and it's WAY stretchier. Doing slst brims have really taught me to keep slst's loose, but it is really easy to lose sts. I always put st markers on the first and last sts to help me keep track

Just finished up my #MeltTheICE hat! I don't knit and wasn't a fan of the crochet version so I made my own #TunsianCrochet version. Turned out pretty good, but I'll definitely be making some changes on the next go-around. 🧶

I say leave it as is. It looks beautiful! I feel 4 sprigs of green might clutter the look a little too much

Another #hat I made recently. A gift for my husband's secret Santa giftee who LOVES #Hangyodon from Hello Kitty. This one worked up super quick and the recipient loved it! All freehanded and was great for a little stash busting! 🧶

A hat I crocheted recently for a last minute xmas gift to a friend. It was my first time doing something predominantly in slip sts as well as short rows! While it took a while, I LOVE how it turned out! 🧶

I'm so glad the melt ice pattern is popping off!!

There is a crochet version! I saw it posted on Bsky as well, although it does look more different from the original knit one. I'm planning on making my own crochet version that's closer looking to the knit one

I don't know how to knit, but it's one of the things I plan on teaching myself this year. However, I would love to see a crochet version of this hat. Might take the time to figure one out myself.

Since we now have smart flip phones...when are we getting smart slide phones?! I know it's not likely...but man, my first phone was a slide phone and I loved that thing so much 😭

This is %100 AI generated. I'm sure something similar could be made by an actual human, but the photo is definitely fake
