Coonskin hat all done!

Well, it ended up better than I thought! I had to buy more yarn, couldn't find the rest of what I had used on top. The color is a bit off, but not really noticeable. Will really likes it which is the most important! It stays on his head quite well now that the tail is on. The tail was fun and looks more realistic than I thought too, especially since I couldn't find any hairy black yarn. It was a great project and I am rather proud of myself. :) To see pics of Will wearing it, visit his blog.

Coonskin hat

Okay, so the coonskin hat didn't turn out the greatest. It looks like a toupee! Pretty funny. I think I messed up on the ridge part where you grab a stitch four stitches below the one you are about to knit and knit them together... it was hard to count with this fuzzy yarn and I don't think I got the right stitch all the time. Anyway, Will likes it. I still have to add the tail... but right now can't find the yarn, urggh... More when I get it done!
