Dove Gray Hat for Vicki

This hat was made for Vicki, a very kind and patient friend. 

It is make from a DK weight merino yarn. 

The flowers are of soft, curly locks hand barbered from the sheep, Billy, who has generously provided locks for some of my favorite hats.  The top flower has a 6 mm fresh water pearl in the center.  Each of the larger flowers on the sides has a 9 mm freshwater pearl in its center.

Vicki may see this hat on my blog before I even get it mailed to her.  I hope it's a nice surprise.  And, I hope she will enjoy wearing it for years to come.

Later--- Vicki has received her hat and, as you can see, looks beautiful wearing it. It's perfrect for her lovely face.

Selections of my hats are available at Edenside Gallery in Louisville and at Anne Sawyer (Hats) in Lexington. Others may be purchased directly from me. For purchases, special orders or questions, please e-mail me. My email: marylarue@bellsouth.net My blog: http://marylaruedesigns.blogspot.com
