Look what Andrea made
Yep, that's a knitted Leia hat, complete with braided buns.
How she did it: used a regular hat pattern, fitted for her head, and knitted 6 tubes (aka "idiot cords") braiding them to make the buns. To make sure they didn't unravel, she stitched them together using a tapestry needle.
UPDATE!! We've written a blog post that'll explain how to knit this, the best hat evar.
