Pattern notes from Chile Con Yarne:

“They say that sea sponges with poor fashion sense live in pineapples at the bottom of the ocean. I myself think that your baby’s head should live in a pineapple on dry land. This pattern makes use of a knitted texture that my girl Susan had in a calendar of some sort. I made this hat and sold it rather quickly at a craft show, and neglected to write down a few things, like the gauge and the exact measurements for the spikey leaf things. So if you know if you’re a loose/tight knitter, adjust accordingly. I’m rather average, myself.”
