TanjaI told you I temporarily became a mad hatter when I discovered making my own strawhats. :D Here I used a chiffon cloth as a hatband - it's actually a juggling cloth usually used by kids to learn juggling. :-) This hat was claimed by my aunt for gardening, and I'm glad it has a good home with her. What is interesting here is that I used a slightly different paper yarn. Most Raffia will be broad and flat, but some are rolled and round and more yarn-like. See second picture for a direct comparison. This will in the end have an impact on your gauge and the size of your project, so it's a good thing to know.

TanjaMore crochet Raffia Summerhat Goodness! This one is big, outrageous and I love it. I didn't have a matching scarf for this blue, so I adorned it with a random gift-ribbon.

TanjaDid you know that you can crochet your own Strawhat with Raffia? Raffia is a Paperyarn and while a hat made from it won't survive a bath, it is otherwise really quite durable. I made the hat in the picture in 2023 and it was my almost daily companion during the past two summers and will be again this summer. It can totally be squished into a bag and pulled out when needed. The first picture with the red ribbon most definitely gives me One Piece Ruffy vibes. :D I ended up exchanging the ribbon for an old chiffon scarf (see second picture). I will share some other, colorful versions later this week. When I discovered Paperyarns in other colors, I temporarily became a mad hatter... :D Pattern: Raffie Sun Hat by Kinga Erdem (free on her blog "My Hobby is Crochet") Yarn: some no-name Paper Raffia from the Craft Store <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochet?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochetart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochetart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochetartist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochetartist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochetaccessories?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochetaccessories</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/häkeln?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#häkeln</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochethat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochethat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strawhat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strawhat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strawhatpirates?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strawhatpirates</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/raffia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#raffia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/paperyarn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paperyarn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/summerhat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#summerhat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/yarn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fiber?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiber</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fiberarts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberarts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fiberartist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberartist</a>
