Teleport hats

This instructable describes how to make a set of teleport hats. A teleport hat is a crocheted hat which doubles as a device with which you can teleport yourself to a person wearing the same type of hat in case you miss oneanother and want to be together without the hassle of driving, jetting or biking there.
This particular set is made in the free-form crochet style: there is no exact pattern to crochet from, instead you crochet in an iterative process alternating between crocheting and trying the hat on for size and pattern adaptations.
Disclaimer: It is of course not a functioning device but it works well as a gift for someone you miss or someone who misses another person madly as it provides an opportunity to take some kind of action when ordinary options like driving, jetting or biking are not feasible even if the action is only symbolic.

Step 1 Find yarn and crochet needle

First step is to decide on which colors the hat will have. Three colors make the most striking hat - remember that it is supposed to be a hat that makes the wearer happy as it will be associated with missing the company of a specific person.
Also find a crochet needle that matches the yarn. If given a choice in size, opt for the largest one in the spectrum of the yarn's abilities as the hat will be more adaptable to the wearer's head if crocheted in a loose manner.

The only place this hat teleported me was the principals office for "not complying with uniform standards".

tch. school is so overrated.

[codongolev]

school is pretty much prison. people assume you're going to do something wrong, fights break out, you can't leave until a predetermined time, the government mandates you have to be there, crappy food, and you're forced to work. the only difference is that school lets you have just enough freedom at home that you can fully understand just how constricting it is.

It looks like the top of one hat fits into the top of the other. Are these little soul mate tops?

[koefoed]

yes in this particular case they are made to be soul mates.

cool! I can totally see all sorts of possibilities here. a little secret society of funky hat people? secret messages in clothes... how fun it would be to meet someone new in person via shared hat patterns!
