So here’s another example of what I mean by having a bunch of building blocks and putting them together different ways.

These are the crowns of the two hats from yesterday’s post. And hat crowns are (generally) just ‘ways to decrease while maintaining some of the lines of the pattern.’ So if you have a couple of different ways to decrease out of a given stitch, you can find yourself with a couple of lovely different hat crowns.

The hardest part is deciding which you like best, which I, alas, am no help with. I’m hopelessly smitten with both! But how about you, which one do you like best?
