How can a gourd keep a person warm in the winter? This is how it's done here in Crackledland -- a gourd scrap crotcheted into a hat. Let the power of gourd enter your head and all things are possible -- from shoveling the new two-car wide driveway (when it was only wide enough for one car last summer) to sorting out the garage to make room for a great gathering of gourd friends who want to work on a new project together. This is the kind of hat that will help get the job done!

This hat uses a cut piece from the bottom of a gourd. It has been shaped into a round-ish circle with holes drilled along the edges (see below). Using a crotchet hook, the yarn is drawn through the holes. A hole is drilled into the stem end, and seed beads are added. It would have been better if only I had varnished some gourd seeds and strung them! As it is, I had these so they are what I used....until the next great gourd hat!
Stay cracklin' warm my dear gourd friends!
