I do beadweaving & loomweaving The second I laid eyes on the 'first knotted' top hat, it won me over! Now when I saw the other ways in which you can knot the top hat in different ways, I loved it! I am going to see if there's the gal who used to teach awesome knitting at Joanne' fabrics. I've never taken a single course there. She was a former employee there, so they allow her to teach. I'm going to be showing her the pattern and hopefully I can have this top hat put away until my daughters have children of their own which wont be for a very long time! They are 21 and soon to be 23 years of age. It's too adorable. I saw only one full PDF page of instructions for the pattern. Is it actually just one full page or should there be more? I have reviewed your art, wearable and non-wearables and you certainly have such gorgeous talents! Keep it up!!! I'll be coming back to watch your art! BTW, did your friend like the hat after t he loss of her hair? I had one on and threw it off. It was just too 'hot'... Even biker's cap was just too hot. I stayed home/indoors so I wouldn't have to wear anything on my head. When I left the house, I wore a cap that best matched what I wore. I just finished 11.5 months of chemotherapy on June 4. And now just started a very LOW dosage of chemo which most likely will not result in hair loss this time. We'll see. However, I thank you so very much for you're extreme act of kindness in sharing this pattern! It's far too cute for words! Smile Hello KT,

"Intarsia" is a knitting term for switching between large areas of color within an area of knitting. "Fair Isle" is another way of using two colors - but both are carried along together and switched every few stitches (picture those fancy Norwegian sweaters with reindeer or snowflake designs) rather than covering a large area with one color only. So now you know! :) Love, KT Hi, Alice,
