Stiff Tails ...

The whole reason for the selfsufficientish website was to offer a place where anyone can ask, HOW DO I...? So who knows why it has taken us so long to have a HOW DO I? section, but here it is. So if you want to know how to do anything selfsufficientish then here is the place to ask.

Could you just crochet the stem? Just work a very small amount of chains (6-7) in the round coming out of the centre of the hat? then you could, if you felt it needed it, stuff it with a little wadding, or just leave it depending on how tight the tube is then draw up the stitches over the top of the tube, that could make a stem, and it is totally undoable if you don't like it.

:cheers: well done ... I haven't worked them in the round as I had vertually no central hole, but I did work on a finer hook a chain of 7/8 tight chains and its done the job .... So thankyou... and I will show when I get my camera out of the van later.
