Sloughy hat

The first sign of recovery is wanting to do something instead of just watching tv. When I thought of crocheting this hat, it took me three more days to actually start the project. The lovely thrifted silk blend yarn was just right for this fit-for-autumn beret. Fortunately the receiver likes it too, even after her dad said that it looked like the cap of 'Zwarte Piet' (companion of Sinterklaas).
