Life Aquatic beanie pattern

(Ned/Owen Wilson version)



This is a simple knitted hat worked in single rib stitch on circular needles.

Materials

-1 100g skein worsted weight red wool yarn (you'll have plenty left over)
-5mm/US size 8 16" circular needles
-1 stitch marker (or paperclip, etc.)
-darning needle or yarn needle for sewing up top of hat
-1 small rectangle of black fabric 2"x3"
-3 buttons: 1 each red, yellow, and green
-black thread and sewing needle

Cast on 82 stitches using the cable cast-on method.

Knitting the Body

Row 1: *K1, P1 repeat from * to the end of row.

Place marker in the first stitch to mark the beginning of a row. Join
yarn, and begin knitting in the round, in the same pattern as Row 1. Work
in the round, in K1, P1 rib stitch until your knitted tube measures 8.5
inches in length.

Decrease

Last Row: *K2tog repeat from * (41 stitches)

Cast off.

Cut yarn, keeping a tail (about 1 foot) for sewing up.

Finishing

Fold the cast off edge in half, with your yarn tail at the center of one
side. You will be sewing through the decrease row. First attach the
opposite side to the root of your tail. Then, bring in the points at the
folds to the center, betwen your tail and opposite point. This will create
an X shape. Sew along this X to close off the top of hat. Weave in ends.



Traffic Light

Cut a piece a small rectangle of black fabric measuring roughly 2"x3". Tuck under half an inch on each side and sew down. If you're using felt, fleece or another non-fraying fabric, just cut a piece 1"x2". Sew buttons onto black fabric in a column from top to bottom: green, yellow, red. This is upside-down from normal traffic lights, but it's accurate to the movie. Using black thread attach your traffic light to the inside of your hat with the green button closest to the bottom edge. Fold the brim up, and wear!

I'm sorry, that comment probably showed up months ago but I haven't been checking this blog. It fits my head, which is a women's M/L (about 22 inches), but because it's ribbed and wool it'll stretch to fit most adult heads.

You may never see this comment, but I guess it's worth a try anyway! I'm making the beanie and want to do the traffic light patch too - but believe it or not I'm having a hard time finding the red, yellow and green buttons.

I was just wondering if you ordered yours from somewhere - if so, where? I can't seem to find anywhere that has what I want, heh.

Anyway, love the hat. Thanks for posting!

Steph, sorry, I haven't checked this blog in ages!

I actually painted buttons with acrylic paint and then used a clear coat of nail polish to seal them. Hope that helps!

Hi, I was so stoked when I saw your life aquatic hat! I made a crochet version of the same hat for my boyfriend a few years ago. He loves Life Aquatic. I just finished crocheting him a Life Aquatic blanket too. It's pretty awesome (if I can boast). I'm glad to know there's another LA fan!

Attention NANCY PETERSON! I would love to know how you crocheted this hat, I crochet - but haven't gotten around to learning how to knit yet. If I have to learn to knit to make this awesome hat I will. But if you have a pattern, resource, or even a picture and general guidelines on how to crochet this hat - I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
