that @kake is currently iterating on a new cricket #hat for me in their continuing quest for us to mostly wear handmade clothes other than socks. #sewing the original pattern is the bucket hat one. the cricket hat involved kake having to do trigonometry

hat iteration number 2 on top of bob's head. it has stiff brim. a cricket hat.

hat iteration number 1 on top of bob's head. it has a floppy brim. a bucket hat.
