Cat in a Hat

Yesterday my cat went to sleep for the last time after providing companionship for 15years, so a couple of photos where she managed to get involved in my hat blog.

Basic Origami Hat

The most basic of all origami hats involves 5 simple folds and makes a kind bicorn like, hat as below

This was made using a sheet of A2 sugar paper, A3 would make a child-sized hat.

The paper needs to be rectangular, not square.

(newspaper works just as easily)

Fold the paper in half (the fold line is across the shorter size)

Position the fold at the top 

Then fold the corners in so they meet in the middle as below

Fold the top layer of bottom edge of the paper up, over the folded corners

Then turn the paper over and fold the remaining edge up

That's it your done you now have a hat.

Goblin Hat

A hat that is suitable for a Goblin.

This hat has been part of the groups LRP kit since well before I joined the group

Part knitted, part fabric, part leather, part hessian, part fur, partly embroidered, roughly stitched together, and well tatty this mix-up looks very homemade.

Highly suitable for some beggar, ancient tribal type, witch doctor, goblin or similar that is trying to stand out. 

This is hat is a very popular part of the crew kit

Religious Hat

I think this is crocheted hat, but as I'm neither a knitter or crocheter, I'm probably wrong. 

The hat is not very stretchy but still fits well and is very comfortable to wear, the sort of hat you could wear all day without noticing.

Not following a particular religion this is therefore not something I would wear socially, so for Larp use only.

The cross crosslet in the design of the hat is not associated with any particular Christian religion, at least as far as I can tell, its more associated with the spreading of Christianity, i.e. its also called the missionary cross.

The hat has 2 little toggles hanging from the centre button, if anyone knows what they are called I would love to know.
