"Ever flipped through your #history book and wondered “Why are all the #Jews wearing these funny #hats?”

You find it all over #Christian #art from stained glass windows to manuscripts, the #Judenhat (“#Jewish #hat”) can be traced back to #medieval #Europe.

You can even find it in the Bird’s Head Haggadah and some other Jewish books of the time! Originally a marker of eastern learning, antiquity and authority, and even fashionable with 12th century aristocracy, things took a dark turn as Jews were depicted wearing the hat while killing #Jesus. Paired with a “Jewish nose”, the hat can even sometimes still be seen in #Antisemitic depictions of Jews today."

I told you I temporarily became a mad hatter when I discovered making my own strawhats. :D Here I used a chiffon cloth as a hatband - it's actually a juggling cloth usually used by kids to learn juggling. :-)
This hat was claimed by my aunt for gardening, and I'm glad it has a good home with her.
What is interesting here is that I used a slightly different paper yarn. Most Raffia will be broad and flat, but some are rolled and round and more yarn-like. See second picture for a direct comparison. This will in the end have an impact on your gauge and the size of your project, so it's a good thing to know.
