Hey one thing that I did instead of starching the hat was stuffing 2 lightweight grocery bags inside the shell. Same idea for stuffing as the Twisted Kraken Hat. I wore my snail shell hat to a music festival this weekend and was turning heads everywhere I got a ton of compliments. I can’t get over how awesome this hat is!!

Yeah that works! I'm happy to hear that! 💕🥳

I'm absolutely stoked to have found this tutorial. My hubby wanted a whimsical wizard-like hat and he fell in LOVE with this pattern when we were scrolling ideas for this. It's super easy to follow so far 😊 I'm currently cranking one out for him to wear to a fantasy faire that's coming up ❤

That's awesome! We are in fact (my hubby and i) druidic pagans and it is actually meant to look like a wizard/witch hat 👍👍I might design other fun witchy hats in the future so I'm glad that you like it! I'd love to see a photo when your done!

I absolutely love this hat. Thank you for the tutorial. ❤❤❤

It is so cool to find something very different for a hat! Thank you! And thank you for the video tutorial as well. Renaissance is big here and this hat would be appreciated. 💖💖💖

I am so excited to find this pattern and you...thanks. I found you because someone is using a picture of this hat with a pattern they wrote that makes no sense. So I searched KZread and found you. I will make many of these and always give you credit.

Do you think I could make a kid size by doing my circles with HDC and then the starting chain smaller??? I want to make a matching one for my 5 year old son

it's gorgeous!!

@@bogartknits7320 I love the petroleum blue hat but I really wanted a black one. So I got going after work this afternoon and finished the first hat and completely finished the second hat. I made the second hat a little smaller by only doing 14 wedges but it ended up being heavier than the one where I did 15 wedges. Weird.

I also put a craft friend on to the pattern and she has crocheted one for her sister who is organising the local National Folk Festival this weekend (she's using the leftover yarn from my first hat). Thank you for such a funky and truly amazing hat pattern. It certainly gets people talking when I show it off.

Could you give me any pointers on the starching process please? Things like do you get the top parts soaking wet in the mix, or do you just dab it on? Do you squeeze it out? Inside and outside. How many coats? I love this hat design so much! Thank you for sharing!

Hello! I usually stuff the inside of the hat with a plastic bag with whatever rags or small towels to shape it. The plastic bag prevents it from sticking. I had used glue in the past mixed with water to stiffen it, but I've noticed there is a discoloration that shows up with certain yarns so I might try cornstarch next time. I usually spray the starch on with a spray bottle (I got it from the dollar store) once I have the shape that I want it. I have a styrofoam manaquin head to help shape it

Do you have to stiffen the hat?

Do you have to use ribbon yarn, or will normal bulky yarn work?

Hello! I found the ribbon yarn works the best for this pattern, however many folks have done it with different types of yarn with success. You can check out this link to my ravelry page to see and compare other people's projects and the different yarns that they used :):) www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snail-shell-hat/people

When you start joining the circles, do you pull the yarn from the back through to the front of the circles, or from the front through to the back?

Only one size (for adults) at this time. I have done this project with a smaller hook different yarn for kids and it worked okay but I do not have the specs up for that yet

It looks like you are doing yarn under stitches. Does it make a difference in the hat if you do yarn over instead?

I do yarn under for almost all my projects, just out of preference. I only do it for single crochets though, I honestly don't see much of a difference when I yarn under for DCs or TRs.

The main attribute using yarn under is tighter stitches/ a denser fabric, which is ideal for a hat :)
