Knitted "Crochet" hat.

Spent the day knitting away, and there it is the
"Knitted crochet hat".
My darling model came home yesterday for a short visit, and while she talked and talked and talked I managed to finish the second version.
Turned out pretty well, has the look I was aiming for, and fits.

The start was abit wonky and the spiral does not show, must have something to do with the knitting being rows. Something to refine.

This is taken straight from my notes, might have mistakes, but just to give you an idea on how I did it.
