This one is made from a lacy crocheted thrift store sweater. It's silk. And the crochet did not ravel. I handled it gently, and sewed the pieces together with a straight stitch and then zig zagged the edges. Like always.
In the back, I put a little bit of elastic on this one, and the front brim is stitched in place.

The nice thing about a hat is: Is it a "fashion accessory", or is it a "headcovering"? Perhaps one can cover one's head without causing a scandal if a "headcovering" would be scandalous. Of course, there are those who would judge a hat as not being "religious" or "prayer-coveringish" enough and scandalized in the opposite way. So ultimately it's between a woman and her God what is or isn't on her head. Just my two cents.
