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

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!!

Supercool skully, Wooly,

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.
