23 - "You are getting sleepy...."

Here's a side view, and top view, of Hat 23. I'll call this hat "You are getting sleepy. Very sleepy." It reminds me of a black and white wheel used for hypnotism in a class I took once. After I looked at the rotating black and white wheel for a while, and then looked at a plant, the plant grew HUGE suddenly. (Kind of like "Audrey, Jr." did. (Little Shop of Horrors)) When the wheel was rotated in the other direction, the plant would shrink away like the folks in "Fantastic Voyage". It was a fascinating optical illusion, but I can't say it did much for me in terms of hypnotism, nor the reason I took the class. (For one thing, if the hypnotist is going to link something you'd see to a helpful suggestion, the something you see can't be as commonplace as "the color red". I mean, if you're driving down the highway at night and you see a sea of tail-lights, should you really be messing around with your hypnotism class ideas?) But I digress.

I call this hat "You are getting sleepy. Very sleepy." because of the spiral. It starts at top center and continues all the way down the hat. However, you can't really see that by looking at the hat from a side view, as it just looks like stripes. Therefore, I gave you a top view, too.

Yarn: Vanna's Choice in Fern and White
Hook: 5.5 mm

Pattern is simply a mosaic crochet spiral version of the basic roll brim crochet hat.

It's a little bit big on my littlest Little (first grade), but kids come in all sizes so I'm sure it'll fit SOMEBODY.
