I've been a Hip Hop head since birth, since the first time I heard Freaks Come Out At Night by Whodini, Sucker MCs by Run-DMC, and Fly Girl by Boogie Boys (Rest In Peace to Ecstasy, Jam Master Jay, and Boogie Knight). And I wanted to make this post as my way of commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the culture.
Obviously, I'm also a crocheter. I love that shit like I love my Hip Hop music. As I've done for my Etsy store, I've made, listed, and sold pieces that were inspired by some of my favorite Hip Hop joints. Here is my most recent nod to the culture.
You remember the Kangol bucket hat? The same one made famous by LL Cool J back in the day? Well, the hat you see in this photo is my take on it. I don't even have a pattern for it yet, but I need to go ahead and write one up.
Speaking of LL, one of his albums was called 14 Shots To The Dome. Well, you can say this hat is "three hundred some-odd stitches off the dome"; I only incorporated what I learned from one of my favorite crochet pattern books, which I'll talk about on another post.
In the meantime, I've got that listing on Etsy:
See y'all on the next post! One Love
