Starbuck's Mandala Hat

Remember that extremely bright, primary-colored yarn I posted a while back? Well, I finally finished the project it was meant for.

I present to you, Starbuck’s Mandala Hat:

Starbuck's Mandala Hat

For those of you who are looking confused, this is the first of (hopefully) many designs inspired by fandom. In this case, Battlestar Galactica. Starbuck (played by the always kick-ass Katee Sackhoff) paints this mandala in shades of yellow, red, and blue on the walls of her apartment on Caprica, not realizing that it has much greater significance in the search for Earth and her destiny.

I loved the colors and spiral-pattern of the design, and I thought it would make a perfect hat. It didn’t take long to make, once I sorted everything out with the spirals and stopped putting it aside for other things. Keep an eye out for better (modeled!) photos and a link to the pattern later this week.

  • That is beautiful! Well done! I'll check back for the pattern. I happen to know a few BSG fans who might get a kick out of it.
  • Brilliant! I don't know if it will be as big a hit as the Jayne's Hats from "Firefly," but I think it is wonderful. We've got a few knitters in our BSG club, "The 13th Colony" and I know they will love this! Thanks!
  • That is gorgeous!! I love the spirals.
