Yar! Ahoy Matey!

A week late (two weeks late?) for TLAP day, but a month early for Halloween. I'm sending the sprout out as a pirate this year, this is part of his costume. Next I need to make him an eyepatch (black with an orange S&B) but that won't take long. I made this dubblemussa-style using Cascade220 in black and tangerine and added a full capliner that I knitted up from some leftover Cherry Tree Hill I had in the stash - a very scary cap with a nice soft rainbow-colored liner :D

This is based on the HelloYarn cap. I took out the vertical 5-stitch divider to bring the cap down to kid size without ruining the skull and bones motifs.

Gorgeous is right! I saw that link in my travels for a three-corner hat but my knitting is nowhere near the level where I could handle it :( because my boy would certainly flip for it....and my DH too :(

damn...I don't regret not knitting well very often

Absolutely wonderful job on the hat!! Michelle

Really it's a fast knit. I made this cap on 100 stitches, each motif is only 14 rounds high. Add back the 5-stitch dividers between every two motifs and you're still looking at only 120 stitches. This cap took me a total of about 10 hours to knit, including the liner. Follow the pattern and make a turned-under hem instead and it'll be probably a 7-hour knit.
