WIP Wednesday - A Splatoon Bobble Hat Update

UPDATE 2/6/23: I no longer stock Splatoon hats, PaPa hats, nor Noiz hats, but I will make them as custom orders! Check my custom order status on my Etsy! You can also make your own bobble and sporty bobble Splatoon hats with this pattern!

My blog has been so neglected! I've been spending every waking hour making Phoenix Wright 'PaPa' hats (also available without the button here) and Noiz cosplay hats, which I think I mentioned in my last update...ages ago. I swear that I'll eventually get back into the habit of Free Pattern Fridays one day as well.

I tried very hard to get some Splatoon Bobble Hats ready in time for Halloween, but a series of strange events occurred with fabric being out of stock, so on and so forth. I won't bore you with my excuses because I hate listening to excuses and I'm sure you do too.

What can I do to make up for my failure to reach my own arbitrary deadline? A coupon code, of course!


And I have actually made progress on the Bobble Hats too! I made the labels for the brim and I got the buttons from Snow Bunny Studios. I have the fabric for the white side of the tentacles, so I'm just waiting on the colored fabric. The tentacles are going to be about 48" and stuffed with polyfil and super awesomeness.

You can snag one of these hats AS IS from the shop for $45 + shipping or wait on the tentacled hats next week (fingers-crossed) for $65 + shipping. Contact me with a custom order request if you're interested in a hat WITHOUT tentacles. 

Five colors are available - turquoise, green, pink, orange and purple.

Here are some pictures:

Check out these awesome buttons! I love buttons. I love making hats that require buttons. Buttons! 

Below is a nice view of the shape of the hats and placement of buttons and label. The labels are made of felt and then I drew on them by hand and machine-sewed them into place.


And here are the colors! I am willing to make these in other colors, but custom orders will be a bit more costly on account of I'll have to go get all of the materials and find fabric that matches the yarn, etc. etc.


Until next time, happy crafting! XOXOXOX

p.s. Maybe if you wish really hard I'll pull some sort of free colorwork chart from my butt for this week. ;-)
