Real Life Yeti Hats for Sale (and a Free DIY Sewing Pattern)

For anyone that has always wanted a real life yeti hat, I am now selling them on Etsy: bit.ly/yetihat

I thought it would be a nice souvenir to remember Glitch once the world of Ur has shut down for good. Each hat is hand-made to order and is super soft and comfy.

I did ask stoot for permission to make and sell these and he said it was ok.

***
For the DIY folks, I have put together a pattern with instructions (high-res version)! 

Bear in mind that this is my first time doing anything like this and I didn't use any fancy software for the stencils... just hand-drawn with a Sharpie. Enjoy! (and share your results if you end up making one)

  • Hmm I might look into the melon head, but it looks like it might be kinda hard to make. I'll let you know!

  • Since a couple people asked, I would be happy to make custom hats based on other styles from the game. It just might take a little longer since I would need to acquire the materials and maybe experiment a little. You can either send me frog-mail or email me at nblloyd@gmail.com with your request.

  • Thanks everyone. :) I truly love making these because I get to see the yeti faces looking up at me while I work. I am seriously going to miss this game.

  • @chilirlw: It'll be in the mail tomorrow! It's all packed up and ready to go but it's been tough trying to get to the post office this weekend.

  • squee!

  • I finally finished putting together a pattern with instructions for folks who would like to make their own hats! It is linked up at the top. Enjoy!

  • Would you mind if I made a vector graphic of your sketched shapes?    It'll be open source so it's easy to use and resize.
    Posted 11 years ago by knitmeapony Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sure! That would be great. I'll link to it in this post once you have it created.
    Posted 11 years ago by Yeti Spaghetti Subscriber! | Permalink
  • W00t!  I'll probably do it over lunch hour!

  • If anyone is still thinking about buying a yeti hat and would like it in time for Christmas, there is just one week left to order. I'll make every attempt to make sure it gets to you on time, but a safe Christmas cut-off date is December 13. The listing will still be up for a while, though, so if Christmas is not a priority, there is no need to rush. :)

  • I finally opened my hat (it's been a crazy few weeks) to wear to work today for "crazy funky day".  Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of me wearing it, but I got SO many compliments on the hat and even had to explain Glitch to my supervisor.   

    I love my Yeti... now I just need to find a name for him that's more original than just "Glitch"... though that's not out of the running. <3

  • Aww yay! I'm so glad you like it (and that others do too). :)
    Posted 11 years ago by Yeti Spaghetti Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I got mine and I can't wait to pull it out of my stocking at Christmas (yes, I have to be Santa for myself, too)
    Posted 11 years ago by chilirlw Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My only question is why hasn't EVERYONE bought one of these yet?  They're amazing!!
    Posted 11 years ago by Soupie♨ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Pattern link has been updated with a smaller version of the original so it's easier to download (and all pages are now right-side up). Big thanks to Meebus for making that happen!

  • Oh, rad! I'm going to try my hand at making one. Thanks!

  • Where are you sourcing your images for the hats? The encyclopedia?
    Posted 11 years ago by Twinkle Star Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks everyone! I hope your hats turn out great! :D

    @Twinkle Star: You mean the original designs from the game? I use the images from the Wardrobe as well as my own memory. :)
    Posted 11 years ago by Yeti Spaghetti Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks for the pattern, Yeti! Just what I needed to jumpstart my DIY tank that I shoved to the back of my brain :D
    Posted 11 years ago by Demaria Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I figured out you can right click on images in the wardrobe and save them. If you click the link (I forget what it's called... item detail maybe? It brings you to a new page and you can save all the images)

  • Ok, last bump for this thread before the end of the year! (I will be on vacation until January 2nd, so there will be a bit of a delay if you place an order before then.)

    P.S. I also have chicken hats for sale. ;)

  • Chicken hats! So good!
    Posted 11 years ago by Spaghetti Thompson Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Got my chicken hat, and it is awesome!  I've gotten more random compliments on it...

    It's so soft and fuzzy and perfect, and adorable.  If you ever decided to make a Piggie hat, I'd be all over it!
