Jen reminded me that I never showed off the Viking Hat:

Pattern is here, and then I messed with it a whole bunch. I added the rivets up the center, and used furry black yarn for the base of the horns. This was a going-away present for TheRev’s four-year-old, although the hat is pretty stretchy, so for all I know TheRev is wearing the hat now. Although I made him some of the bicycle hat earwarmers from MenKnit, so he should step away from the viking hat.
There were matching mittens, which I kluged together using the Later Gator mitts from SnB Nation. I was going for kind of an armor thing, so they were light gray with rivets, with dark gray for the gusset part. And I did not take a photo of them.
The hat is sitting over a ceramic bank, which is why it has feet. I tried to get Gracie to model it, sort of a Cat in the Viking Hat effect, but you can probably imagine how well that worked out.
