I can has: Cookie Hat!

When I first saw Katy Perry's California Gurls video, one of the things that I wanted to have was her cookie hat. I forgot about it until months later, after finishing a commissioned hat, I had a bit of creative burst and decided to make a cookie hat for myself.

Here's Katy Perry in her super cute Girl Scout outfit:

And here's my own version of the cookie hat:



I used my usual custom beret pattern (I was too lazy to find a different tutorial to make a hat that exactly looks like Katy's hat) and simply added the chocolate bits. I opted not to add sequins (for the sugar detail?) because I don't sequins in general.

My original idea was to have flat chocolate bits, but it looked too boring. So I stuffed some poly-fill in each chocolate bit and - tada! a very cute cookie hat. It also serves as my personal pseudo bubble wrap while working.

Most people thought its a mushroom hat though. OTL Some even thought its a turtle hat. Come on people, when you think about mushrooms, do you first imagine it as light brown with dark spots? Do turtles come in brown shells? Haha. I noticed though that those who first thought that this was a cookie hat were kids, while those who thought it was a mushroom hat were adults. Heh. :3

Maybe I should make myself a mushroom hat *evil planssss*.


If you're interested in buying this hat, please leave me a message! I would love to make one for you! Just leave a message. Thanks!
