I really cannot take any credit for this hat. My Uncle Bart, the comic book dork, made a request for a Dr. Manhattan hat, that I proceeded to make with my horrid intarsia skills (see photo below). Luckily he loved it, and so did all of his comic-booky buddies. After that he was the one that came up with the idea of a yellow hat with the Comedian’s Smiley Face w/ the bullet, so I decided to try it out and surprise him with a little package in the mail.

It is a basic knit hat pattern, and then the smiley face is embroidered on. Don’t fret people, I can’t embroider at all - I just started sewing in there till it looked right. I have posted pics of the back side of the hat so you can see that this takes no actual embroidery skills.
