This hat pattern turned into a pouch based on the African Violet Slouch by Robin Chachula.
Finished purse
The motifs
The motif is completed
My hexagons came out 5” instead of 4” making the hat too big. I tried doing a 5 hexagon thing, but it looks funky. I may rip it out and get rid of the light blue (old sheepish wool I had lying around) and try something else.
I messed around with the violet hat
You can see where this is going to be a bit *ahem* large
Decided to just put them together as the pattern called for. Then I tried their ribbing method and got frustrated. I ripped it out and just did a decreasing SC all the way around for a few rows to get it to fit my head. It looked ridiculous (see pics).
So I made it into a purse. I bought 2 wooden handles, SC around the top and attached them. Added a little flap and a magnetic clasp and viola! A purse!
