just playing

I had a child Christmas performance to go to last week Friday and during that performance I made "an ornament" at least that is what the author calls the pattern .

But to me unless you have one humongous tree this is way to big for an ornament.  On Sunday two of my daughters had holly berry hair-clip to wear to church.  I didn't have time to finish the third ( it would take several hours) but I saw that triangle /coaster/ doily / ornament/ thing sitting where I had been working on it.  I thought you know might make an interesting hat/headband.  

I set to playing with it for an hour and this is what I came up with.  There is an pink elastic at the nape of the neck so that it will stay snug on the head.  I think it works so much better as this than it did as an ornament.   I am using 3 colors of cord and 2 sizes may be hard to see that in the photos.  My daughters made most of the cord in this hat and they are the ones that will probably wear it the most too.
