May 21 2009This Is The Awesomest Hat Ever Made
And if you could incorporate a beer helmet into it, it would be awesomest hat ever possible to make.
I made this hat for my son - he wanted a mean shark. I saw the dead fish hat pattern and loved the idea - I just varied the pattern quite a lot to make different looking species. And felted it so it looks like it jumped out of the water and landed on his head...
I basically cast 90 stitches onto a size 9 circular needle and winged it from there. I used Patons wool and it felted great.
Okay I have absolutely no idea what that means because the only thing I've ever stitched is my head to the carpet, but if somebody out there could make me one that would be just about the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. Well, besides BYOB night at the strip club. Superficial Writer -- out of my cooler!
Shark Attack Hat [craftster]
Thanks to Towee Monster and Yopoleo, who have both almost been victims of shark attacks but punched the guys before they got hold of their underwear. Good looking, guys.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job.You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactyly like that scene int he movie NEver Back Down where Max was on a morotcycle trip, and got menaced by tough guys. He got mad and went back, and ended up blowing up all their motorcycles and burning down their bar.

This is not a new concept, San Jose Sharks fans wear this garbage to the HP Pavilion Center to watch their crappy team play hockey! Way to go San Jose, you lost early in the playoffs again!

They are giving that hat away on PlayStation Home.

This is the kind of sh*t that makes a good parent. Instead of going shopping for some dopy hat she made one for her son. Pretty damn cool. Instead of FAIL you, good woman, get a PASS!
