It's probably obvious that I am obsessed with the tribly right about now. I just learned that word btw. For those of you who don't know, a tribly is a fancy word for a fedora ... but how much cooler do you sound if you say tribly? I wore a tribly (well technically this may not be a tribly, but it's a fun hat) on my honeymoon. You also might have seen one hanging up on the taxidermy coat hanger I made. I have been wearing a tribly nonstop this summer because it's only been about 116 degrees ... no really it was 116 today here in AZ ... ick.
But on a happier note ... when I ran across this Classico Fedora (above) the other day at Anthropologie I was instantly in love. In a rare moment of self-control, I didn't buy it. I paused for a second and thought, "I could make that." And you know what ... you can to. Here's how.
fedora or hat (I got mine at Target)
wide navy ribbon
navy, pink, + yellow jute cord (I got these at Michael's)
yarn needles
With your needle and cord, sew the pattern you see in the Anthropologie photo. I recommend threading the needle halfway down the length of the cord, so you are sewing two pieces of cord at a time. I also recommend finishing one patchwork section at a time, rather than weaving the cord around the hat. When you are done sewing the pattern, remove the current ribbon around the hat. Wrap a pice of your navy ribbon around the hat and glue in place.
