I made this for Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols and he told me it made him look like a hippie, so I took it back and made him a solid black one in Rowan Big Wool. He's such a PUNK.
I love the hat - it looks stellar on him, but black is punk too! I love his radio show - it is generally the highlight of my LA travels, he even played shuggie otis -- Thanks Jonesy!
Hi, Thanks for your comments. The beanie is made from Noro Tubu yarn (the regular, NOT large Tubu). I don't think it's made any more, but you can check ebay. It only took one skein on #15 needles. I didn't get a photo of Jonesy in the black one. I'm making him another hat. I'll try to post it when I'm done. :0)
A group of knitters, who knit and love their punk rock music. We are the offbeat knitters. We rock while knitting. We roll while knitting. We declare knitting is cool!

I'm absollutely impressed by every aspect of this. I love the hat, love the Sex Pistols, love the punk attitude about the hat.
Is the multicolored one also made from Rowan Big Wool? I think I may need to make the Steve Jones Hippie Punk Beanie ;)
