Mohawk Hats

Mohawk hats are just what they sound like, hats with mohawks. They can be made in all sorts of different styles. My favorite was one that was made in my school colors. It almost looked like this but the mohawk was larger and the quality was simply better. Anyway, just google mohawk hats and you'll see all sorts of styles and examples. Here's what I've made myself.


 

 This hat was requested by a friend who loves both mohawk hats and rainbows! My friend specially asked for a "toned-down rainbow." What a challenge! After much thought and experimentation, I created this design!


This is one of my favorite creations along with my Fluttershy pony, the Panda Hat, and the Sea Turtle. I love making these!
As with any item I make, this one is fully customizable. Perhaps you'd like to see some purple up in the mohawk. Braid length is always easily changed. Perhaps you don't want a certain color of the rainbow included, maybe you hate yellow. My first question is going to be "Are you the Green Lantern and can I have your autograph?" but then I'll tell you that that's easy as pie.  
That isn't my friend in the picture, in case you were wondering, that is my brother, my ever-willing model, back when he was sporting that odd pencily-mustache.

 Special Feature: Mohawk hats certainly don't have to be rainbow. They don't have to be complicated at all to be awesome! Here's one I made for another customer using only black and two shades of gray. This hat also features mattress stitch edging.
You may recognize this guy from pictures of the Greek Hat. This is my secondary model when I'm away from home, my boyfriend Levi.
(Don't all my models just look ecstatic  I'm going to have to make them smile or stop using models...)


Amy's Hindsights: Damn, I love these hats. I don't think I'd change anything, they came out so well! Well, ok, if I had to critique them, I'd say the Rainbow Hat's mohawk could have been more even, it's being distorted when worn, so I could take that into account. And the other hat shown has a mohawk that would be a little too long for my preference, but the customer loved the slightly messy style.
