FREE PATTERN: DJ Baby Rock! Hat
If you’re a parent to a child in the under 4 years set then chances are, you know of that which is the Yo Gabba Gabba phenomenon. We’re huge fans of it in our household. Our daughter’s face lights up every time she hears the first notes of the theme song as does my husbands when DEVO’s Mark Mothersbaugh comes on to give on-screen art lessons. Me? I’m a sucker for the Dancey-Dance feature and guest appearance by bands like The Ting Tings and Weezer. Our boys pretend they’re too old for the show, but we’ve caught them secretly watching Tony Hawk showing how to oli on his skateboard. Shhhh, don’t tell.

This pattern is perfect for Halloween, do I dare say for my costume.
You also have the cutest little model.
She is darling. 🙂
I am going to get yarn right now. Not making that up. (Although I did just see this post right before my lunch hour!) Adorable! Thank you!
is there any way you can do a crochet pattern? i can’t knit, bit o can crochet!
Too cute. Your daughter is adorable.
I love that show even watching it on occasions when I’m not sitting for one of my 16 neices and nephews.
I love it! Where did you find the yarn? I can’t find anything like that around me and I’m dying to make my kids these hats before the YGG show in October. Thanks!
You can find the yarn at Hobby Lobby. The brand is Yarn Bee. Any furry yarn will work, though.
We went to the show today and my daughter and her friend wore the hats I made. SO MANY compliments!!!! Even DJ Lance himself complimented it! Thank you for the pattern. (They sell a T-shirt of Lance’s shirt. Add the funny glasses from Wendy’s happy meal a few weeks ago, and can you guess this year’s Halloween costume?)
That. Is. AWESOME! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
So bright hat! It is really funny.
I love this pattern, I can’t wait to try and make it for my son, he loves YGG! But, I am having a very hard time finding this type of yarn. I’ve tried most of our big chain shops in Maryland but no luck! I know you said Yarn Bee, is it Haute Fur Yarn? I’m trying to find it in orange, I’ll keep looking! Thanks Vickie!
A great place to find the Fun Fur Yarn is at the Dollar Stores. I found this exact color at ours!
How fun!! And clever! I’m’ so glad that I found this–I found Lion Brand Fun Fur yarn a couple years back at the dollar store-in ornge, so I bought a ton of it, had NO CLUE what I’d do with it, but now I know! I have a li’l grandson who loves DJ Lance:)
