I have this hat (beanie type, I guess) that I've had for just about 20 years now. I've been wearing it regularly, and it still seems to be in good shape, but I know it won't last forever. I'm very attached to this hat, silly though it may sound.

I'd like to have a replica or two of it made. I don't have a pattern, but it's not all that complicated. Seems to be made of acrylic, although relatively high quality and comfortable. Not entirely certain. If I can find somebody in the Pacific Northwest to make it for me, I could bring the hat over.

Sorry if this type of request isn't what the community is for. I can provide pictures if anyone is interested.

As moderator I officially endorse the idea of peer pressuring this person to knit.

I actually already know how to knit and I used to knit hats. Now I have arthritis and various other health issues and I can't do it anymore.

Ah that's rough I'm sorry, I see from your other comment pics are on the way so hopefully someone around here can help out!
