I am a geek, I understand that . . . . but I blame this particular proof of my geekdom on Jeff. He has managed to hook not only myself, but my whole family (even my little grammie) on the ill-fated series Firefly. In the episode "The Message" Jayne Cobb gets a package from his mother and in it is this hat. I was glancing through the new patterns on Ravelry and found this little gem by Kim Werker (creator of Crochet Me and editor of Interweave Crochet). Apparently she is trying to get Firefly creator Joss Whedon to do an interview with her.
Ingredients:
Hook - 9.0 mm (M/N)
1 ball Garnstudio Ice - Yellow
1 ball Garnstudio Ice - Rust
1 ball Garnstudio Ice - Red

http://crochetme.com/patterns/jayne-cobb-hatI used the Garnstudio Ice (cotton/acrylic) instead of the Eskimo (100% wool) so that it wouldn’t be too warm. Jeff has a big head so I increased to 46 stitched on round 6. I crocheted the earflaps directly on the hat. This was my first attempt at a pompom so it’s a bit wonky.
