Jack Skellington Nightmare Before Christmas Hat Pattern


Jack Skellington Nightmare Before Christmas Hat Pattern
I love this movie and I finally got my mom to agree to take me to see the movie in 3D since Randy refuses to. I wanted to make a hat to wear to the movie, plus I can always use a Nightmare Before Christmas hat! Who can't? I am happy with how it came out. Make one for yourself or a friend but please don't sell these. If you want to share the pattern please share the link and not the pattern itself.

Cool hat! Is there a chart for this pattern?

Kody May said...

Sorry but no. Every chart I've ever posted someone has ripped off and claimed as their own. I write it out so if they rip off the work it's at least a pain in the ass.

Miss Becca said...

OMG this is so freaking awesome! Do you think this could work as a round hat? I love it as is though! As always- amazing work!
XOXO,
Becca

Kody May said...

Yeah you could do it in the round it just makes the colorchanges more of a pain.

Veronica said...

So cool! thanks for sharing! :)

My chiropractor wants a hat with a vertebra on it (go figure). Anyway, from seeing your previous skill, I figured, you, of all people could figure it out. If you could somehow design that, I am happy to pay you for your trouble.
I love your things!
Thank you
Patti

Hi,
I love your designs. My chiropractor wants a hat with a vertebra on it. You are the only person I know of that could possibly get this done. If you could work out a design for me, I would be ever so grateful. Also, I'm happy to pay for it.
Fellow knit wit,
Patti

Email me with your email address and let me know whether you would like the pattern for in the round or back and forth. You'll find my email in the header at the top of the page or under the mailing list link.

Becca said...

I'm thinking about making this for my husband...but he has a large head. Would you recommending adding more width or heighth for a larger-headed man? ;)

I'm going to knit this as a purse and felt it. Then I'm going to knit it into a sweater. Then I'm going to put it on a scarf... afghan... earmuffs....

i would like to make this as a baby hat. could you tell me how to scale it down for that?

Kody May said...

it would be a stretch to scale it down for a baby. You would probably have to completely change the graph, unless you did it with fingering weight and small needles. I would do a guage swatch and see if that's going to produce the size hat you need. Let me know if you decide to try how it works out.
