This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in textiles.

In this project, you will Knit a Jayne Cobb hat. Yes, Jayne Cobb from the show, Firefly. The hat is not only warm on the top of your head, it keeps your ears cozy, too!



(Note: if you make such a hat, you might not want to sell it...because of legalities)

Here are a few Jayne Cobb hat patterns:
The Ultimate “Jayne Hat” pattern
How to Knit a Jayne Hat

Minimum Requirements:
 - hat must fit the wearers head--not too tight or extremely loose
 - hat must have knitted ear panels
 - must be made from all-natural materials
 - must be in extremely ugly colors, preferably Jayne's cunning hat colors.

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (<2 minutes):
-  Materials
-  Hat in progress
-  Finished hat (perhaps on a head)

Haha! This reminds me of when I was a kid--around 9 or 10--making friendship bracelets. I was making some for each of my cousins. I had no idea what colors the boys liked, so I just picked the "ugly" colors (dark reds, blues, greens, browns, blacks). I showed them to my husband, years later, and he said he liked those colors, ha!

Just goes to show that what one person likes, another might think is awful. Personally, I HATE pink, but lots of people love it!

Paul added in the "must be in extremely ugly colours, preferably Jayne cunning hat colours" bit to this BB. It sure makes the BB fun!

And I don't like purple or any variations thereof.  BTW - OT - has anyone had a long-time (back to early childhood) automatic 'connection' between numbers and colors?  I remember when I realized this as a child... and have re-checked it as an adult, and they have held constant.  Hmmmm... I'll share mine if you share yours  (I'm thinking of the single digits)

I love purple! As for colors and numbers, I don't have any association there. But, I do remember as a child thinking of 5 is an Elvis-type person, and 6 is a jerk, and 9 is very nice (kind of an older-sister, caring figure). I think this sort of thing is called "Synesthesia."

The quote that goes with that hat “A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.”

The colour choice needs to be ugly enough to embody that quote.

For those who aren't sure if you can manage an ugly enough hat, we have an easier badge.  https://permies.com/wiki/127896/pep-textiles/Knit-crochet-hat-PEP-BB

I just went and stared at pictures of the hat. The color scheme isn't really ugly. It's a nice fire color scheme with red at the bottom, then orange, then yellow.

Those colors don't really clash--they match.

I think the style, more than the colors, is what embodies, "A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything." Usually men don't go around with cute little ear flaps and pompoms on their hat. It's a cute, child-like hat. Usually "manly men" don't go around in those types of hats (like they don't wear pink), unless they really don't care what other's think and therefore not afraid of anything.

Jayne's hat, besides the bold colors, was, as his mother made it, lopsided, definitely oversized and baggy in weird places.

One holiday season, I tried to buy a wool, handmade version on Etsy for a gift, but it was sold out. So I settled for this acrylic yarn version, branded by the Firefly swag brand (whoever that is), and modeled by my son Forrest, in the winter sun in downtown Missoula back in 2014.

I think even this "official" version was less lopsided, uneven and misshapen than the "true" hat knit by Jayne's mom, but it's still recognizable by brown coats, nonetheless!

As someone who has never knitted and isn't likely to pick up yet another fiber based hobby, is a Cleverly Crocheted Hat in amazingly bright colors enough for this badge?
I have plenty of wool and acrylic in very bright and questionable colors, and have patterns for crocheted versions of Jayne's Hat. I just haven't the coordination to knit.

If I have to, I have to, but would then have to ask if loom knit were enough, too.

Oh yes, if you can crochet a Jayne Cobb Hat it in all natural fibres (no acrylic/polyester/nylon) it would count!

I'd love to see someone make one of these hats!

This is one of the most difficult badges in the textiles PEP.

One point is for showing you can make a functional hat.  
The other point is for it being a Jayne Cobb hat.

What we want to see most of all for this badge is your skill at honouring the Jayne Cobb Hat.
