I finally managed to crochet a bucket hat with the linen
which I had spun a few years ago.
My first attempt on knitting without a pattern resulted
in a floppy brim hat which I didn't want!
The next attempt ws almost better but it wasn't classy enough and still had ripples instead of a flat brim.
I gave up on the self-designing and hunted through a ton of free hat patterns to find one with just the right yarn, too.
The pattern stitches for ventilation are just the touch that set this pattern above the others; and now it's mine!

What a great use for some handspun! I never wore a hat much in the summer but now one's a must. I never knew what I was missing all these years of not being able to see outside.
