Ninjas are Awesome
After finishing the skull hats for a friend and his daughter, I wanted to make a matching hat for the missus. However, it didn’t need to be the exact same, since she didn’t want to be matchy-matchy. So, I started thinking about other ways I could use the skull, and other types of skull hats.
And then it hit me.
Forget the skulls! If I want to do something different, then forget the skulls! What do the skulls represent? Pirates! What goes with pirates like peanut butter goes with chocolate? Ninjas!
Rather than waste time looking to see if there were any ninja-themed hats out there, I made up my own. The most iconic thing I could think of using in the pattern was the shuriken, the throwing star. I made up the charts, dug through my stash, and came up with enough yarn to make this:
The bonus is that if it’s too cheesy, she can just say it’s a stylized snowflake.
That looks awesome!
HEE HEE!
teehee – you know what a shuriken is – you are now honorary Japanese!
