Chicken Viking Hat

Sometimes you need a bit of a break from 'serious' knitting. After lots of lace shawls and complicated charts, I was ready for a quick and fun project - and I found it...in the form of a chicken hat.

It got me laughing!


Mauno wasn't quite so impressed...


...and this dude refused to be seen in public with two drumsticks poking out of his head.

Project: Chicken Viking Hat
Designer: Sarah Mundy
Source: Aloha Media
Needles: 3.75mm and 4mm
Yarn Details: about 60gr of mystery Macedonian stuff.

I stuffed the drumsticks with the yarn itself, for two reasons. 1) I'm too lazy and cheap to buy real stuffing. 2) This way, the stuffing is the same colour as the knitted fabric and therefore won't be visible.

"Give one to someone you love this Christmas"

That is the cutest hat! I might have to make one for our son who asked for a rubber chicken one year for Christmas.
