Description
Oh me, oh my, what's this? Something actually /on/ my dA page? Gasp!Just finished my latest hat. It's the first design I've made all on my own, not just following from someone else's pattern - the Piranhat!
Inspirations obviously from Mario Bros., etc. The teeth were also recycled from part of a pattern of the Knitting Ninja's .
I don't think it wound up coming out too terribly, although it's just a weeee bit small for my head. Not quite enough give in the yarn. Something to think about for next time, yarr.

CUTENESS!
I happen to knit, and I may do something like this.

Hehe, thank you! It's a pretty easy pattern all in all, really.

Oooooooooo I want to make one! Pattern maybe?
There's one on Ravelry that's a Chain Chompy that's noming on your head.

Oh, I'm pretty sure that the Chain Chomp hat is the one that I nicked the teeth from, hehe. I've made one of those, too. :3
There's not really a pattern, so much, though. If you'd like to replicate it -
Cast on in the round in white as many stitches as needed for hat diameter. Knit in stockinette until piece measures five or six inches (depending on how thick you want the lips to be). Purl one round. Switch to red, and continue to knit hat in stockinette stitch until completed. (You can use pretty much whatever beanie or basic hat pattern you want for the decreasing.)
Roll up the white 'lips', and using a needle and white thread, secure to the rest of the hat. I used a series of wide-spaced loops - they're nearly invisible, and provide a slight puckering effect. Affix teeth (as seen in the Chain Chomp pattern by Knitting Ninja). Knit eight to ten inches of i-cord in dark green, and attach to the top of the hat. Cut circles of varying diameter from white felt and sew to hat at appropriate intervals. Cut two leaf-shapes from green felt and attach to i-cord vine. (I added 'veins' to the leaves in running stitch, which gave them a bit of shape.)

Thank you so much! I think I might be able to do that!

Oh, foof, no. I have seen masterpieces out there that dwarf my little piranhat.
Now, when I get the shrieking energy-sucking hat of doom going... Maybe that'll be better.

Niiice, not bad! I love it! I don't know anything about knitting, but I love it!

Here's a hint: you knit with yarn!

*squee!* How awesome! You knitted that, eh? Now I totally need to learn how to knit... great job!

There are a ton of instructional pages and videos, even, out there on the web. If you're really hankering to learn, check out yarn shops near you - they often offer classes and such where you can pick up the basics. :3
But thanks for the compliments!
