Knit and felted tricorn hat!
 <  Image 1 of 4  > 

I love wearing this hat, even if its just around the house, lol. It's ridiculously fun.

Followed the Tricorn Hat Pattern by knitlikeapirate.com using Patons Wool Merino. Felt the hat in my washing machine and then blocked it into shape by pinning on a styrofoam head.

I made my own cockade using this lovely tutorial (http://www.jennylafleur.com/study/cockade.htm) and finished it with an awesome pewter skull button. I then stitched on some silver trim, attached the cockade and added a couple ostrich feathers. I've found the ostrich feathers located in the floral section at craft stores work great as the base has floral tape wrapped wire which helps in securing it to the hat.

Created using a how-to available here

But yours looks better than the ones on the how-to... did you do something different in the felting/shaping part?
Not that I can knit either. Argh.

Thanks everyone! Rivil- I just make sure to watch the felting process carefully so it doesn't under/over felt. Then I really work on the shaping of the hat on the hat form/styrofoam head - making sure not to disturb it until it's completely dry (same as any felt millinery work). My other trick is to shave it! With just a regular ol' Bic razor. :D
