Crochet Snail Shell Hat Tutorial

Greetings fellow crotchetier, I am very excited to share the snail shell hate tutorial with you today. This custom design was inspired from snail shells and a standard witch's hat. 00:00 introduction 00:18 let's get started 11:18 making the hat ridges 27:20 transitioning into the band of the hat 37:44 brim of the hat Supplies: Crochet hook size 8 A flat bulky ribbon yarn, 300 meters should keep you from running out (or 275-325 yards). Ribbon yarns tend to provide extra sturdiness for the hat shell. Any recycled bulky yarn will do for the band of the hat, although I do prefer acrylics and wools/protein fibers as they tend to be a bit more stretchy. You will need to prepare your preferred starching method for the shell of the hat (there is no need to starch the band or the brim of the hat) I've heard some folks prefer to stuff their hat so whatever works best for you! I prefer to use a mixture of 1/3 Elmer's glue and 2/3 water.
