| This Mega Man Knitted Hat makes me laugh! If you love it? It inspired by the Mega Man, known as Rockman. By Trinity, she knitted for his friend Paul. If you want to knitted one for the future winter, you can check out Trinity's blog which includes detailed step, or check out more. |
" I used the Amelia Earhart Aviator Cap pattern as the basis for the hat and then added the point on the front and the contrasting pieces on the ears and across the top. The yarn is Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in Blue Boy and Spruce.
To make your own hat:
Knit Aviator cap using the pattern linked above
I used size 6 needles, but I tend to go down a needle size or two for everything I knit.
Make forehead peak
PU sts across the forehead (I picked up approximately 16-18 sts)
knit these sts in garter stitch while also decreasing (k2tog) at the beginning and end of each row
when you have 2sts left: k2tog, cut yarn and pull through rem st
Make top piece*
CO 20 sts
knit in stockinette stitch for 9 inches
fold in half lengthwise and attach** to hat using your choice of stitching. folding it in half gives the strip a raised look without having to use stuffing.
If you really want to be fancy pants, you can knit this in the round to make a little tube. That might have been what I did (I freestyled it and made this a year ago, so I am reaching way back in my memory here to recreate these steps), but it would work by knitting it flat too.
Make ear pieces
co 3 sts using dpns. you are knitting this part in the round.
kfb into each stitch to make 6 sts
continue increasing at 6 points until it measures about 3-1/2 inches in diameter
BO
follow steps to make a second one
attach** them to the hat
Finishing
weave in all ends
* The real Mega Man Helmet has two top pieces but Paul and I determined it would look goofy with two, so we deviated from the original a bit.
**It might be helpful to pin your pieces into place before attaching them. It took a little bit of fussing to position them correctly. " |
