Grumpy cat
project is progressing nicely. Hat 1.0 came out better than expected,
considering the color changes involved. I was able to get the angles right on
the muzzle with the strategic placement of increase/decrease stitches. Good to know.
Alas, I had a PLETHORA of ends to weave in afterwards. We’ll deal with that issue on the next hat.
The eyes came
together fairly quickly, until I got to the pupil, which I embroidered. The
frown as well had to be pulled out and re-stitched twice. Embroidery is
extremely tricky on crochet stitches, but there will be plenty of practice in the
days ahead, I am sure.
I whipped up
a couple ears, brown on the back and tan on the front and tacked those on.
Voila!
After
finishing the entire hat, I have decided I need to re-work the design of the
ears and the nose so that they will have a more feline
silhouette. I also want to try changing the top of the head to the lighter
color to better match the original “Grumpy Cat”.
So I’ve got a bit of
work ahead of me. Until next time!
