Update 02/09/11: I’ve included my modifications and made it into a handy-dandy pdf pattern. I hope this helps for those using super bulky yarn.

I’m making this hat as a surprise gift for my friend, who wants a hat similar to the green one in this comic.

I’ve searched many patterns on Ravelry, and this seems to be the closest one to my liking.

At first I used SpiderWomanKnits pattern (4th picture on the bottom), but it was too small for my liking. I instead used the original pattern, but with a few minor changes. Check the pdf link above.

I chose to use I-cords instead of tassels, and used US 10 to make them. I almost used the entire skein of yarn. I probably had an extra 5 yards at the end, so if you make it with my specifications, make sure to not waste any of the yarn.

Great pattern, easy to follow and make adjustments on.
