Headband Option - Knit in the round,

Round 3 start robots leaving space for team numbers

Round 7 start team logo close to the top

Knit 1 round after robot complete then purl one round, then knit the lining for the

headband (same number of rows that you knit for the outside.

Cast off. Fold headband along purl line. Sew Cast On and Cast Off edge together

Toppings:

Antenna--instead of decreasing so rapidly, decrease every 3 rows or so, to create a spike at the back of the hat.

Pompom--cut out two circles from cardboard. Cut out a circle (1 inch diameter) in the centre of each circle. Hold the two circles together, and

wrap yarn around through the middle and around the outside over and over again. When the circle is full, cut around the outside edge and sepa-

rate the two cardboard circles a little. Tie a long piece of yarn around and fasten it tightly around the middle bundle of strings. Remove the

cardboard, and trim the pompom.

Curlicues (from )

Cast on 20 stitches. (The final length of your curlicue will be the same as the length of your cast on row.) Knit into the front and back of each

stitch loosely, ending up with 40 stitches. Bind off purlwise. Here you see the curlicue already curling on the bind off row. Take your finished

curlicue and twist it in the direction it is already curling.

Horns and other structural knitting

Knit with wool and one strand of copper from a copper scrubbie (which is actually knit, so you can unravel it really easily). You are limited by

your imagination.
