Not this one! But I'm doing commissions, I just got another one, for a pink and white hello-kitty-themed-squid XD Which is to say, I suppose, that it will have a bow? So possibly just a scary albino squid-girl. Anyway, after I finish that one, I'll post it, and be open for another comission.

As I just told AlleyCat100104, there, i just got the money for another commission, after that one's finished I will be taking more. Possibly, I'll just whip out a batch and put them up for sale.

Maybe I should make a few and stick them up on ebay or somewhere... Everyone seems to be interested~

I wonder how a Sperm Whale would look to other Sperm Whales wearing this hat, ESPECIALLY since it would be a giant Squid Hat!

-laughs!- He would probably be ostracized for his strange and dark sense of humor? Or for siding with the enemy by buying cute hats?
My love of squids actually started when I was RPing... well. It's sort of like a shapeshifter universe but not really. ._. Anyway, I was playing with other marine people-animals, a candy shrimp and a great white shark. The shark did me a cute picture of teh sharkness in the hat... It's around somewhere, remind me and I'll show you.

Alright.
Was it, by any chance, Finding Nemo?

... NO. XD
Seriously. It was based on a webcomic called Pandect.

Very cute, love the tentacles, hehe.
I've always wanted to be able to make hats like this. Is there anything in particular you used to get you started on doing these hats before drafting up your own patterns?

Actually, I started right into the squid ones - this is my second.. genki hats are really easy to make, though. Like the pandas and stuff - the more classic-looking ones? You can see the seams in the pictures, too - Basically it's four triangle-shaped pieces sewn together like... half of a beach-ball - the points to the top, the wide pieces to the bottom, and then a wide rectangle that's folded under for the second half of the hat. The real trick to the genki hat is to use fleece.. it's a wholly forgiving fabric, you can do nearly anything to it and it'll still look good, haha. Hope this helped, if I wrongly assumed you knew what genki hats were, check it out on genkihats.com? (They were the original, right? Me and my friends always called this kind of hat a genki hat, anyway..)

Yeah, I found a "pattern" online from one of those "make hats for cancer patients" website. It does seem pretty easy. I'm hoping to try my hand at one later today if I can get out to buy some fleece. :3 Thanks so much for giving me an idea of what type of "pattern" to look for.

yay for green tentacles!
is there by any chance you could make me one >_> <_<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, sure! Why not. I've got another one in the works for a friend of mine. This one sold for $50, I'd do one for you for $40, if you're serious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
$40 in USD?
and yes, i'm pretty serious XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. That'd do it. It's sort of hard, with this sort of thing.. either you have to trust me, and send the money and hope I'm actually gonna make it, or I have to trust you, and go ahead and make it, and then trust you'll send the money.. BUT. I am not flaky? I've got references from past commissions and such? I dunno. I think, if that price is okay, and you assure me you actually have the money, I'll just go ahead and make it in the color you want. Then I'll take a picture and link it to you, and then you can send me the money, and then I can send the hat. That sound like a fair deal?

how could i assure you that i have the money? take a photo of the money or something? xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah. Just tell me I guess. XD I dunno. What colors do you want? It's a bit limited by what they have available at my local fabric stores.. But it's a decent range.

Lol, cute, as usual. Hm, I think I might like the original better, but this one has it's own seaweed-green charms. You should do all different types of squid. That and submit them to that one squid-themed website with the i-pod holders and the like.

Thanks! I'm totally gonna do that. [link] is the site... there's new stuff up, too, if you care to browse

Also: I might do other squids, but in the long run there's only room for one squid in my heart.. and that's the giant squid <3
