Chile Hat: Left-hand Side

For the past fourteen years, Central Market has held a Hatch Chile Festival around Labor Day to celebrate the arrival of Hatch chile peppers from Hatch, New Mexico. Part of the festival involves employees crafting "kooky" chile-themed hats and wearing them during the weekends of the festival. The prize for best hat is a $100 Central Market gift card. This is the hat that I made, which won me the top prize!
