We went to the fair with our oldest daughter — really fun! She saw a hat hanging in the Creative Activities Building and loved it…so, mama had to knit it! It was easy to find on Ravelry: Beeswax Hat. I had yarn in stash (Madeline Tosh DK) in a perfect gold color.
I admire clever designs and this one truly is. You think the honeycomb is continuing along its merry way, but in reality it becomes the perfect shaping for the crown, which ends in a beautiful flower motif. Lovely!!
Here is the one we saw at the fair. If it’s yours, let me know (I couldn’t see the name!):
Enjoy your Labor Day!!! 🙂
You are rocking the puns lately. 🙂 And that’s a lovely hat!

Hi Susan! From the northwoods outside of Two Harbors, I just had to let you know I’ve been watching for your “state fair” annual post. I LOVE the hat you did for Laura. She will look smashing in it when the leaves start to change!
Congrats on all of your blue ribbons. We are up in TH’s awaiting our home’s sale…..we missed the State Fair this year. Hi to the gals at knitting tonight. I will eventually return to Panera, but am preoccupied right now. I miss our group of friends. I am currently knitting six pair of socks for great nieces and nephews. Love, Cathy

Thank you for this, DH is a beekeeper and I’ve been looking for a gift for him. I’m going to copy your copy 🙂
