Doctor+Who+-+Jayne+Style+Hat

I already made a pattern for wrist warmers so I felt the need for a hat to complete the ensemble. (I had the extra yarn just staring at me saying, “Use me!”)
 * __ Doctor Who Hat __**

The pattern as written will give you an adult sized hat. (Fits up to a male or a female with lots of hair – like me.) If you want a smaller hat CO 68 or 64.

I want to give some credit where credit is due… This pattern is a little of me, a little of “Heather’s Firefly Hat” by Emisanboo a little “Doctor Who Cowl” by Ilea Davis, and a little “Doctor Who Scarf – Season 12” by Chris Brimelow.

Stuff you will need: Size 10.5 DPN and/or circular needle Yarn Needle Pom-pom maker (optional) Purple – Red Heart Soft Grape Tan – Red Heart Soft Wheat Brown – Red Heart Soft Toast Blue – Red Heart Soft Mid Blue (Real scarf is a blue-ish grey, but I like blue in this mix.) Green – Red Heart Soft Leaf Yellow – Red Heart Soft Honey Red – Red Heart Soft Paprika (These colors aren’t perfect, but I think they look really nice together.)

** Hat: ** CO 72 in yellow Join into a circle Work K2 P2 ribbing in yellow for 4 rows Stop ribbing (go to just knitting) 6 rows green 2 rows purple 11 rows tan 3 rows brown 6 rows blue 2 rows red 4 rows purple 2 rows tan (skip these two rows if you CO less) K2 together in tan (purple if you CO less) until you have 3-ish stitches left Pull yarn through loops and tie off (Not BO) Weave in ends

** Earflaps: ** Can be spaced evenly, but I prefer them to be placed slightly towards the back so the space in front for your face is slightly bigger.

Pick up 20 stitches from the bottom edge of your hat using size 10.5 needles Wrong side - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Right Side R1 – P20 R2 – K20 R3 – P20 R4 – K20 (Yes, I had 4 rows to represent the Doctor with the ultimate scarf ^_^) R5 – P2 together, P to end R6 – K2 together, K to end Continue R5/R6 until you only have 1 stitch left – pull yarn through to make a knot. Do not weave this end in, leave it LONG Cut LONG strings in all 7 colors and attach them like a tassel. Braid and tie them off. (Including the string from knitting the ear flap.)

** Pom-pom: ** Make a pom-pom out of all 7 colors. I used a 2.5 inch pom-pom maker for this. I found that tying the pom-pom with three string (6 ends) is good for securing the pom-pom to the hat.
