Patons Wool and Vanna's Choice AcrylicThis was my first attempt at the pattern. I added a few extra rows on the ears and the hat portion since I wanted the hat to be a little larger. We were going for the Trojan Helmet look of a metal hat with red mohawk. I am happy with the look, felted mohawk portion, the yarns used and the pattern, Mohawk Hat.
Finished HatI made a second hat using white Caron One Pound and Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool for the mohawk. In this one I followed the pattern and also added the wool yarn in a braid off the ear flaps, which felted out perfect.
