Cap Can Cup?

Well, it seems to be working better than all the last attempts. I suppose using the correct sized thread is a help.


I'm not sure if you can see the bit of curve in the photo, but this is the best shot I have of it as an of last evening.

Taking a bit of a break from tatting the Corona, I pick it up once a day to tat a few stitches in order to eventually complete the edges around the small motifs. I have only two left to do.

So, when Frivole asked if I wanted to tat the Jan Stawasz cap along with her, I began working on my little cousin's hat. We are both using #10 thread, which is what is required in the pattern.

  1. I thought maybe it was an optical illusion, but I do see cupping!

  3. I is surprising that the thread size is what is making the cupping, I find this fascinating, very beautiful too!

  4. Wow, you're flying along (as usual!) :-)
    Mine is still very flat but I've only just completed the third round and I see you're on the fourth already.
