Dead Fish Hat

Dead Fish Hat

A while back, I promised to post pictures of the Dead Fish Hat I knitted. I’d first like to thank Portland reader, Shane, who came to my signing at Powell’s Books in Beaverton, Oregon and showed me his fabulous dead fish hat knitted for him by a friend. Shane then sent me the link to the pattern, which I knit in a day, and which my husband claimed as his own.

The Dead Fish Hat and the Little Droid

This is R2-D2. He wants a snazzy hat to wear out on the town. He thinks the dead fish hat is snazzy.

But the Dead Fish Hat is angry at the lures and hooks and mechanical things that have tried to catch it. Dead Fish Hat wants revenge on all things metal.

Oh, no! R2-D2 is metal! Run, R2! The Dead Fish Hat is trying to eat you!!

Uh-oh. R2 has been swallowed whole!

Luckily, The Dead Fish Hat does not like the taste of metal (or brussel sprouts) so it spit out R2 and decided to take on a second career as a rug. As for R2-D2 , he has decided he does not like hats. However, he does like bow ties, because bow ties never seek revenge. The End.
