Take the scalp home, trim the dreads to the desired length, pour salt in the fleshy part and let it sit in the sun for three weeks. Viola...African Nudu hat. Just kidding. I'm sick, I know. Sorry.

I used DK weight hemp, which doesn't felt because I was afraid of all the little nobs tangling & felting together. Billy's looks so neat & even. If it was felted, it must have been done before being assembled. Anyhow, it was a lot of work. Over 200 little I-cord tentacles in 3 weeks. It was a fun & challenging project, but I won't be doing another one any time soon. I seriously under-estimated the work involved and didn't charge nearly enough $$$. Oh well, live & learn... I should have it posted tomorrow evening: www.needlequeen.etsy.com Happy knitting everyone! :) I just completed one tonight as a custom order (before reading all these comments – which would have been useful!)
