The first of the Mohicans!











It has been a very creative day!! My nephews and niece told me about a mohican hat that they really wanted. They had seen Martin Gore of Depeche Mode wearing one on tour. Well I didn't know what the hell they were talking about but after a bit of research and a bit of fiddling I came up with the finished article this evening..all done in a day and ready to take orders!! So I have 3 to make already for the family!



Martin seen modelling it here for me, loves it and so do I ! It has a kind of gladiator, centurian feel to it aswell as the mohawk, of course!






Something really different to wear instead of a bobble hat in the cold weather this year and definitely will get you noticed!!






It only took about 300 gramms of wool in the main colour and I made it on the chunky machine.






Slowest part was putting the mohawk on, rather time consuming but I am going to dry a different method for the next ones.






All for now.
