Knit a Steve Zissou hat.

Knit a Steve Zissou hat.
I am a huge Wes Anderson fan, and his movie The Life Aquatic: with Steve Zissou is one of my favorites. The first time I watched it, I yearned (get it yearned) to have a hat like his (for Jacques Cousteau buffs, I know it was his hat first). To tell you the truth, the only reason why I wanted to learn how to knit was to make a Zissou hat. And yes, I am a boy which doesn't mean that I am girly for whatever. Knitting is for everybody!!!

Step 1Well you gotta know how to knit

Well you gotta know how to knit
My mom taught me the basics and hopefully a parent, relative, or friend can teach you how to knit if you don't know how. I think there are Instructables on it so they can help. For me, the book Stitch and Bitch really helped me.
Furthermore, this Instructable is for people who know how to knit and has been knitting for some time. This project is really easy so a noob can easily do this.

I love that hat, I'm relearning to knit right now, and will definitely make it as soon as i get the hang of it again. I do think that the hat would be more like the original if you made the first part(without the decreases) somewhat longer and folded it over to create the brim.

I made a hat based off of this, although I changed it a little bit, but I can't remember what I did differently. It turned out nicely!
