More than Meets the Eye

A little something I knit for my brother. I promised this to him months ago but I forgot about it until I saw the preview for the new movie and it inspired me to get a move on this.

haha!  that's awesome.  can't let my boyfriend see that or he'll want one too!

awesome!  did you use a pattern or just wing it?  either way, it came out great.

That is freaking fantastic. I have been trying to make a Decepticon chart for months now, and for some reason it always comes out wrong. The boyfriend wears a Decepticon baseball hat and I'd like to make a scarf to match... So naturally I'm extremely jealous of the super cool hat.   lol  Is there any way you could post a chart? If not, I completely understand.

Hey, this is great! I also have thought about doing something like this (for my brother) but haven't been able to visualize it.

Is it intarsia (and seamed)? I have only done a little fair isle, and am scared of intarsia. You did a great job, though

Thanks guys!

I sort of made up the part for the hat but I found the chart for the Decepticons on Flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/twoonesix/168804084/

I have the feeling I'm going to make one for myself soon but with sparkly yarn instead of just the solid colors.

I did the chart fair isle on the hat instead of intarsia. I used size 8 needles but looking back I should have gone with size 7's or even size 6. It only took a day to knit so it was a quick project.

Thank you so much for posting the pattern! I could hug you.
