Knit a Steve Zissou hat

Steve_Zissou_Hat.jpg

Von Klaus wrote up an instructable on how to achieve this unique look -

I am a huge Wes Anderson fan, and his movie The Life Aquatic: with Steve Zissou is one of my favorites. The first time I watched it, I yearned (get it yearned) to have a hat like his (for Jacques Cousteau buffs, I know it was his hat first). To tell you the truth, the only reason why I wanted to learn how to knit was to make a Zissou hat. And yes, I am a boy which doesn't mean that I am girly for whatever. Knitting is for everybody!!!

Darn right knitting is for everyone - break that stereotype!

Nope. You are wrong. Knitting is for girls only.

That's not a very good knitted hat. Is this seriously the only time you guys have seen a knitted Steve Zissou hat. Google and you will find many.

my sister knit me an awesome Zissou hat for christmas a few years back when the movie came out. She then got a bunch of the official ones with a patch and such for free too. Even though the knit one dosent have the patch, I like it a lot more.
