As the tittle says, this is the first hat I've made using crochet, and I think it's ended pretty well, since I used to make crochet for clothes and other things. It's not harder to make a hat, you just need to make the form from what you want (bowl, plate...) and crystallize it with a sirup made with sugar and water. Once its dry, its hard as a rock! (unless if you wet it)
45 cm /18 icnhes large.

Added for decoration this ribbon and some butterflies with the same color.

Traduction :
Comme le dit le titre, c'est mon premier essai de chapeau au crochet. Je savais déjà en faire avant, notamment pour les napperons, mais je n'avais jamais essayé de faire quelque chose de dur... puis une voisine m'a expliqué comment cristalliser le coton à crochet avec du sucre et de l'eau, j'ai essayé, et voilà! C'est même pas difficile en fait, il suffit de le tremper dans un genre de sirop de sucre, puis le tendre sur un carton, et laisser sécher. Une fois durci, ça tient très bien, sauf si on le mouille évidemment ^^'
J'ai vu un peu grand pour une première fois, parce que ce que j'ai utilisé pour mouler la forme de la tête était assez large (un panier), ce qui donne un diamètre de 45 centimètres.
Comme déco, j'ai fait simple : un ruban bordeau et des papillons assortis.

Un chapeau au crochet, c'est simple, pas cher et joli ^^

Lovely hat. What kind of stitch did you use?
And it would be 18 inches in the US system. :)

Thanks, I'll add in inches right away ^^

I used single and double crochet, and some chain of course. Very basic!

have you soaking it in glue? I haven't tried doing forms like that but someone told me when i do, line the form with wax paper, soak the crochet in glue then put it on the form.

now that i think about it the sugar thing might be stronger...

Well, as I said, I only used sugar, because it's very strong when dry, and also, if you don't like the way it turns out, you can wash the crochet to and try again!
I haven't been told about glue and don't know how to use it...

I don't even use wax paper, I prefer a solid form, like bowl, plate or, when I don't have the right form with it, made it with cardboard.
