Many years ago, Buffalo and a friend were having a conversation about home ownership. Buffalo said, I'll never be able to afford a house. The friend said, why don't you crochet one? Thus was born perhaps the most elaborate hat that Buffalo has ever created: the House Hat. I took photos of the House Hat back in the early days of this website but I was never really happy with the results. I finally revisited that hat today and took new photos.
The House Hat is Buffalo's Winchester Mystery House. She frequently adds to it and it may never be complete. It has roof shingles and dormer windows and a chimney. There's a crow on the roof and a gopher in the yard. And a sprinkler attached to a hose attached to a faucet. There are weeds in the garden and a raccoon in the trashcan. Buffalo even decorated the interior of the house with wallpaper and lace curtains. I love the climbing roses on the front porch pillars.
This is all well and good, but can you actually wear it as a hat? Yes you can! Because of the flexible resiliency of raffia, you can mold it into a variety of shapes on your head.
