A two-tone colorwork hat, inspired by the work of 19th
century photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge whose
work in photographing locomotion laid the groundwork
for the first motion pictures.

Knit from the bottom up, the hat decreases to a flat top
after the colorwork panel is complete and is topped off
with an optional braided tassel.

If you spun the hat fast enough, it would look like the horse is running.
