Jayne Cobb Hat

Jayne Cobb Hat (Firefly)

Yoda, this is. Handsome and life-size, he is. But bald, is true.
Knitted a hat, for Christmas, I did.
How sits it does? Pretty cunnin’, think you don’t?
(Yoda contemplating the force and the ‘verse. And why his light saber isn’t named Vera.)

Jayne Cobb Hat from Firefly, knitted for Child Eldest (sorry, Yoda).
Needles: US 10.5 dpns.
Yarn: Patons wool & RedHeart
Pattern: Knitting Nija’s Jayne Cobb hat

This is a fast, fun knit, and I’d love to do it again, but with a different color red and a good wool (instead of acrylic) for the orange.

And now, with thanks from The Hallway here’s the quote from Firefly when Jayne gets this hat from his mother:

Jayne: “How’s it sit? Pretty cunning, don’tchya think?”
Kaylee: “I think it’s the sweetest hat ever.”
Book: “Makes a statement.”
Jayne: “Yeah, yeah!”
Wash: “A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything.”
Jayne: “Damn straight.”

    hello. if you want another option for yarn for your Jayne Cobb Hat, I know where you can go. Look up Nerd Girl Yarns and find the Thrilling Heroics set of three different colors of yarn: Shiny! (yellow), Pretty Cunning (red), and Mudder’s Milk (orange). They worked beautifully for my hat,and they will send you a pattern, also. I seem to be collecting patterns for this particular item. I want to see what other people have done with it and try it myself. I hope you find what you want for your project.
