Scales!

So. I had this Opal Rodeo yarn (which I adored). I made a pair of fingerless gloves which I sold in my shop a while back. Then a few months ago I got a request for another custom pair in the same yarn. To use up the lil bit left (and the browns which I didn't use in either pair of gloves), I started this as a hat. I had to rip back some in order to add some pink and green to the custom gloves (to make them longer in the wrist), and also made a little Blythe hat in this pattern for the recipient of those gloves! So...instead of adding a very different color blend to finish the hat, I bound it off where I was with some natural alpaca I had on-hand, and kept it as a headband/earwarmer. I'm thinking of single-crochet-ing around the cast-on edge in the alpaca, just to "frame" it better. Perhaps.

 

Pattern is from the Parrotfish Hat pattern, adapted from the Pomatomus Sock pattern.
