I say keep the asymmetry. There is something about the extra little details that you add, and I love the idea of things being a little off-kilter and quirky. I think it speaks to your personality and makes your objects speak a little more about you. My humblest opinion, of course :)

The Earth Day craft fair sounds great. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for that!

Hi Cosy,

The visual asymmetry is fun, but it might feel unbalanced. How long would it take to crochet some orange on the other flap? Going against my knitting instict, I would say try it. If you don’t like it, rip it out ;)

In my opinion, ear flaps should not stick out. (Stick-outy ear flaps are drafty, leading to frostbite.) Other than that, I think the asymmetry looks neat. It might feel funny, though, to have it closer on one side than the other.

I love it too! I would not touch a thing!

Love the asymmetry! Since the decoration i.e. buttons are on the same side as the crochet the asymmetry works for me. The blue brings the eye to that part of the hat and the crochet just brings closure to the creation!

I loooooooooooove the asymmetry. I think it’s absolutely fantastic. To me, it looks like something blue is growing on the hat, like a moss or something, and slowly taking over. But in a really beautiful, not gross, way.

Obsessed.
