The Infamous Chicken Viking Hat - Now In Crochet! * Tutorial *

[quitelovely]

omg I almost peed my pants from laughing when I saw this!!! I'm not usually a hat person but I have to make this!!

My friend and I are in the midst of making our own versions of this hat.  I'll post pictures of them and a rough version of my pattern.  The only reason I made my own pattern is because I'm already familiar with an ear flap hat I've made before and thought it would go faster if I wasn't relearning a whole hat. But I'll be using the original creators drumstick idea I think... Can't wait to get done!  We're wearing them to Thanksgiving (even funnier because I'm a vegetarian).

Well I finished my version of the hat!  I don't have a digital camera though.  I will try to get some pictures up ASAP.  All my ideas were from the original creator of the crochet version.  But I think I may be able to cook up a full pattern for mine.  Or at least enough of one for a intermediate-advanced crocheter.  For now All I have is the pattern for my turkey legs.

Also, I used the basic idea of this hat

Except I made it a little longer, and omitted the vertical stripes and put some bobbles on it, and made a little bit of a ribbed look at the bottom.

Then I took the same idea for the pulls and tassels from the orignal crochet chicken hat.
