Chopper Hat - Timeskip Version By Milayou Watch

9 Favourites 4 Comments 8K Views

So you already know I love Chopper (I mean, who doesn't?), and you may have seen my old version of his hat I made back when I was only in Skypiea. Well, I finally had caught up with the series and got around to making the post timeskip version of his hat. I couldn't really get an angle that showed off the antlers very well, but I still think this one turned out pretty awesome. I actually even got the little square metal ring to go one the side flap, I just never actually put it on for whatever reason. But in any case, there's his new hat!



Okay, I located the pattern for it. The antlers are the same as on the old hat, but I included them here too. It's gonna be a little long!

Side Flap Thingies

Left (work in rows):

1: sc join in 3rd st from the brim, sc in next 6 sc (7)

2: dec, sc in each sc across

3: even row

4-6: rep rows 2 and 3, and 2 again (4 at end of row 6)

7-16: even rnds

17: slip st across

Finish off. weave in ends.

Sew a metal thingie onto end (optional).



Right (work in rows):

2: sc in each sc across to last 2 sc, dec

3: even rnd

4-6: rep rows 2 and 3, and 2 again

7-16: even rows

17: slip st across



Antlers (make 2 of each piece):



Top piece (stuff as you go)

1: with brown, 6 sc in magic ring (6)

2: (inc, 2 sc) x2 (8)

3-27: sc in each sc around (25 even rnds)

28: (dec, 2 sc) x2 (6)

Finish off, leaving a long end. Weave end through last 6 sc, pull together tightly, tie off. Weave end down through entire length of piece and out starting end, pull a little tight so that the piece will curve and hold it's shape, tack in place and weave in end.



Middle piece (stuff as you go)

1: with brown, 6 sc in magic ring (6)

2: (inc, 2 sc) x2 (8)

3-37: sc in each sc around (35 even rnds)

38: (dec, 2 sc) x2 (6)

Finish off, do same as with first piece, holding middle piece underneath first piece, so that it curves evenly under the first piece. Sew to first piece.



Back piece (stuff as you go)

1: with brown, 6 sc in magic ring (6)

2: (inc, 2 sc) x2 (8)

3-24: sc in each sc around (22 even rnds)

Finish off, sew to middle piece so that starting end lines up evenly with the ends of the first two pieces, and finishing end is right about in the middle of the second piece. Sew in place.



Bottom piece (the piece that connects to the hat)

1: with brown and leaving a long end to start (this will be used to sew to the antlers), ch 8, join with slip st to form a ring. Ch 1, work 8 sc evenly in the ring (8)

2-15: sc in each sc around.

Finish off, leaving a long end.

Stuff piece. You should notice it will naturally want to curve a certain way, given the natural twist of even rnds. Hold this piece up the the rest of the antlers and sew it on at an angle where the piece will naturally curve inward. (it should curve toward the hat when you go to sew it on to the hat). Then sew the finished antlers to the side of the hat, about three rows up from the bottom, where the brim begins. Do not weave in end yet.

After you have the antler sewn in place to the hat, weave the end back up through the bottom piece of the antler and up through to the top. Pull tight, so that the antler will want to curve upward a bit. This alone will still not hold it up. Position the antler so that the top piece is touching the top edge of the hat (there is no exact precise angle, just position it how you like it), and then tack the antler in place to the top edge of the hat. Weave in loose end when finished.

Now you just have one more thing to do!



Small metal piece (for the left antler)

It really doesnt matter exactly how you do this piece, I did a tunisian simple stitch, 3 sts wide and 10 rows tall, ending with a row of slip st, and sewed it around the bottom piece of the left antler.

If you don't know that stitch, you can work as follows:

1: with grey, ch 9, sc in 2nd ch and each ch across (8)

2-3: sc in each sc across.

Finish off, sew around bottom piece of left antler. Weave in end.

Finish off. weave in ends.



For X and dots on front of hat, cut pieces from felt, sew to front of hat. I actually used sticky hem tape to tape the pieces in place to keep them straight, and then sew them on for the nice stitched look. It really helps to keep the pieces straight and in place as you sew them on.



As usual, don't claim this pattern as your own, blah blah. Links to pattern if used are greatly appreciated. But mostly, just enjoy!
