raffia hat - crochet

The scheme is not yet perfected, there are more or less evident defects to be corrected. The dome too high for example.
Natural raffia threads, divided to make them thinner, worked with crochet n.3.
The hat remains light and perforated.
In a possible further sample, I would avoid the double high-knit band in which the jeans strip is inserted, preferring an external band in another material. I wanted to put this band to resume the kind of raffia bag made last year. La lavorazione all'uncinetto è con sola maglia bassa, ad eccezione della parte con doppia MA di cui dicevo sopra.
Una prima parte è lavorata con aumenti in tutti i giri per il cerchio superiore...
poi la lavorazione diventa cilindrica con alcuni aumenti distribuiti ogni 4-5 giri, quindi la forma in realtà è tronco-conica più che cilindrica.  
It resumes with increases at each turn for the brim part.
With the last round worked with white cotton yarn I wanted to take up the bag model again, then I preferred to eliminate it.
With the last round worked with white cotton yarn I wanted to rip again One thing not to do is iron the brim (but I would also avoid the dome) because with the heat and the steam the raffia softens, moreover the various opinions requested have given the preference to the 'raw and crumpled' hat.
To bring it back to the pre-ironing state I had to sprinkle starch, and I'm not sure it will be enough because when wet it stiffens, but when dry it softens again ... now the damage is done and I have learned a new thing. model of the bag, then I preferred to eliminate it.
even today,
That's all folks!
