Pinoy Rasta Hat

     My cousin asked me to make a small Rasta hat with the Filipino colors. The colors were the easy part, but to make it more interesting, I wanted to put a sun on it, somehow. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be. I started with the colors, making the yellow first to make the circle, then I added the rays after finishing the rest of the hat. I am thinking of making another one with the rays extending across all of the colors and instead of one line for the rays, I'll put three, more like this:

    I am happy with how it turned out. This is my prototype, so the next one is always better. Here is the back of the hat:

Jamaican Rasta Tam

   I crocheted this special Jamaican tam for a customer. She wanted it in the colors of the Jamaican flag with the "flag" in the back. She saw a previous hat that I made like this, but she didn't want it to be mesh like the other one. This tam also has a drawstring closure around the crown for a perfect fit. This is how it turned out. I really like it. She is going to wear it at a reggae festival in July. Sounds like fun times, ya mon!
