Hooks and Fire

I thought I posted this already but it seems I haven't! This is a hat I made for my son who has thick thick hair like his mom! It's worse for him, though because if you cut thick thick thick hair short for a male, it tends to poof out. It drives him insane! Can't say I blame him. So, I made a hat for him that will tame his wet morning hair and keep him warm when he goes outside. It's made of Paton's wool yarn and is crocheted using a half double stitch then it was felted. The spiral is a kick I'm on in beadmaking so I repeated the idea in his hat - the spiral is needle felted onto the hat.
