Beautifully made and how nice both hats turned out. Love the colors on Jilson's as well as on yours Nelly. I have so many plastic grocery bags, but I don't read a pattern. I think I still might try making something with them instead of just using them as trash and garbage bags. If they don't break down in landfills very well, then they should last just about forever serving as crocheted plarn grocery bags to be used over and over.

You ladies are indeed an inspiration. Thank you both for sharing. Thumbs up !

I don't really know how to read patterns so all of my plarn crafts are made free-style.

My hat turned out way too large, pretty but not useful. Granted I had to use an F hook instead of an E. So I tried again to work more tightly but even still the top of the hat is wavy. So now I am frogging to try and lessen the increases. Here's a picture of the huge ruffly hat with my cat.
