This is fantastic!  The color contrast is fabulous, I definitely think I'm going to make one for myself =).

Aw, this turned out well.  I've tried several times to do something like this but mine always end up kinda funky at the top, but it looks like you didn't have that problem, your top looks nice.

...I need to get some orange yarn now.

...I sort-of revived a dead post I suppose, I just got so excited and there wasn't a knitting club or something.  Mondays at 5?! I have class till 6 every monday. =[.  I think we should pioneer something.

You hath been added-eth.

I would be completely 100% into doing something like that.

HAHAHA, yes, that was definitely me.  Today's the first day the hat has been unveiled outside of my dorm in Brody...that's so funny...I don't remember seeing anyone looking strangely at me, 'course I was sorta focused on not being late for my class...I never would have expected someone to recognize me...I never would have expected someone from this area to come across this post...wowza.

There's a link to the dinosaur hat in the original post, but here's the url:

At any rate, I didn't really use a pattern to make it, I just made a regular hat and then added the ears afterward.  It took me a little while to figure out where I wanted the ears to be, they're not dead center, they're forward a bit.  I used jumbo saftey-pins to plan out where I wanted them before I put them on.  As far as making the ears went, I crocheted one pink triangle and one orange triangle and then crocheted them together at the edge.  If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

As always, there's quite an exciting story to go along with this project...okay it's not really that exciting, but there's a story nonetheless.  I was browsing the forums here at wonderful Craftster, and I came across this hat that someone had made.  I immediately fell in love and wanted to make one.  However, I'm at school and I only had pink and orange yarn, and I didn't really think pink and orange were very dinosaur-y colors, so I decided to make a hat with kitty-ears instead.  Without any further ado, the proj:



The backs of the ears are solid pink.  I can't really decide if I like it or not.  I figure since I've just made it it'll take me a little while to get adjusted to it and maybe I'll have decided in a couple days.  At any rate, that's all I've got for now.  Expect at least a few more pink-and-orange projects from me in the future, or at least until I go home and get some more colors.

Did you crochet the brim perpindicular to the rest of the hat?  If you start by crocheting the brim only in the outside loop of the bottom of the hat, then it should stick out nicely without reinforcement as long as you don't make it too wide.  I'm sorry, this might not make sense, hopefully you've figured it out so you don't have to be confused by my babbling...
