Earlier this month I told you about the brain hat, an early contender for the pattern to knit for the upcoming marches for science. It’s a great hat, but all that I-cord is, frankly, pretty boring and takes a long time to knit.
Here are a couple of other options for science march knitting, if you’re so inclined. Or they’re just cool hats for any occasion.
ChemKnits added a little helix cable to the traditional pussyhat pattern to make a GENEie Pussyhat. So cute!
And then there’s the Resistor hat from Craftimism, symbolizing resistors used in electronics to slow down an electric current.
Either of these would be awesome to knit for geeky friends or yourself to wear any time of year.

February 23, 2017 at 10:17 amI find the term for the hat to be very offensive. If you didn’t like hearing President Trump saying it on tape from 10+ years ago, why do you use the term? Doesn’t it give others the impression that all women are ok with anyone using this term? I am offended.

February 26, 2017 at 1:46 pmHi Sarah, I wanted to make a correction to your post. Knithacker shared my GENEie Pussyhat design but ChemKnits is the designer of the GENEie series. I’m really happy that you enjoy the design! I’ve included the link to the GENEie Pussyhat Knitting pattern on my name in this comment.

February 28, 2017 at 6:35 pmHello! Thank you so much for featuring my design (I am Heidi from Craftimism with the Resistor Hat design). I wanted to tell you about the new March for Science Official Crafting group on facebook. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/295161777566144/) We are encouraging any blue or green hat for the march and are trying to mobilize knitters to make hats. 🙂 We have a range of suggested designs from beginner to more advanced but we should all look unified with green or blue. We are also set up to take handmade hat donations for the march in D.C. through projectthinkingcap.org. We’d love any publicity you could give us! Thanks again for featuring my hat!
