R2D2 Beanie Hat (Star Wars) *Now* with link to free pattern/charts (page one)

[Shortstuff411]

We are in love with R2D2 in this house, so this was the perfect answer for this winters hat!

I had been thinking about this for AGES now, and had time to fit a quick project in, so went for it. 
I used a model of R2 for the shapes on his hat, and just simplified them. I based the sizing on the SnB 'kitty hat, (cos I know that fits me really well). 
ETA: this is my first intarsia project (needs practice, I know!) 

I've already had several requests for R4D4 ones as well, including a local barman (who also wants a batman balaclava) shouting "make me one!, make me one, PLEEEASE!!" over the bar!!

Thanks, I was pleased with the decreasings on the top of the hat, they came out really well. (I did 6 to match the number of panels etc on R2)

Wow!  Haha, I wish I had that hat when I was R2D2 for Halloween one year.  My mom made me a papier mache hat with lights, but it's cold here in Alberta, and a toque like that would have been better.

I third the request for a pattern!

Fantastic hat! Please share your pattern. I can definately think of a few people to make this for.
