Well, I decided I would start this thread do that we could see all of everyone's adorable fish hats... I am planning on making a few of my own.
Dead or alive they are all welcome here, as well as any photos of your work or work in progress, questions, and discussion alterations you might have made to the pattern.

My nephew is a fly fisherman guide near Bend, OR and I want to make one of these for him -- I think they go mostly for catch and release of trout...anyone have ideas on how to give it the rainbow effect?

I have done a few. Just picked up the yarn to do a NEMO for oldest GD.

Someone recently posted a picture of an 'ugly' dead fish hat. I loved it and immediately dug out some bits of various variegated yarns and have one about half done. I think kids will love the 'crazy quilt' look to it-at least I hope so.
Will post a picture when it is finished.

Oh, good idea! I haven't made one but can't wait to see the ones others have made and get ideas!

Fantastic work, Dreamweaver! Love the bright colours in the first one.

I don't have a close up of mine but it is on the end of table at the craft fair I did. I plan on makingmore. they are such fun!

 

[Nocturnal]

Oh, yes I see a few of them! You both have made some really nice hats!

I am planning on using some caron simply soft and some RHSS... What size needle should I use?

 

[tpmcgoo2]

thank you! they really are quite fun though aren't they. Mine is crocheted and was easy enough to do. I don't remember what size hook but most likely a g or h.

I made one on my way to Omaha last Thanksgiving. She loved it and immediately wore it to school. Sorry, no picture, but I will be making more.

Here's the one I did for my youngest for Xmas. She liked the "dead fish" look better!

Just finished one for my grandson. Used leftover Red Heart Super Saver. Used size 6 needles and it still is too big.
Where do I go from here?

 

[Windbeam]

Sent mine to Florida for Christmas!

 

[furgee]

These are fun

 

[vamitchc]

Wow, wow, wow, beautiful!

I made a Nemo colored one, and now am working on a purple and green one..what fun!

 

[agnescr]

I made Herbert some time ago ..........AmyLee claimed him

 

[missyern]

Oh yes. I have lost track of how many fish hats I have made. I think it was 6 or 8 of the regular ones and definately 6 of Nemo. Some want the dead eyes - some want the googly eyes and I prefer to crochet the eyes. My oldest great GS reminded me that Nemo has one small fin. So from that day on I made one smaller fin on the right side.

They are all lovely. I just made one and sent it to my 9 yr old grandson who loves it and now his 7 yr old sister wants one too but in girly colors.

My question was that both on Revelry and Knitty they have a different tail than the author's original. I did get in touch with her and she was nice enough to get back to me and told me she had the original on her web site. She said they tried to simplify it on their pattern.

So, for those wondering too, about the different tails, that is the story.
