Stargate Fair Isle Beanie

I want this hat. I NEED this hat. But I can’t knit, and I don’t know anyone who can do fair isle. I have tried to learn to knit, just so I can make this hat (I’m hopeless). Carol Schoenfelder posted this Stargate beanie over at Ravelry, and I truly think it’s the greatest hat ever. She used the gate symbols as well as traditional fair isle patterns, making this subtly geeky and incredible cool.

There’s a free tutorial on her Ravelry page, which means someone can make this for me, right? Pretty please?

Coraline Gloves

It’s twenty-four degrees in my neck of the woods today, and it’s only getting colder. The colder it gets, the more I knit, and these Coraline gloves are a great way to stay warm and geeky. Blogger Tika Belle provides the instructions for these whimsical Coraline gloves on her blog, Largely Unrepeatable.

Yoshi Knits

Craftster User silentblair posted this adorable Yoshi hat on Craftster. This hat was made for her 4-year-old daughter, but I think I might have to consider making one for a certain Yoshi Loving man in my house. I love how she has Yoshis of different colors around the hat, it’s a perfect way to personalize the hat for anyone based on their favourite Yoshi colors. Silentblair used the chart generously shared by fellow Craftster user teriyakimoto for her design. Check out Teriyakimoto’s Keyhole Scarf too, it makes literal use of the keyhole, making it a very unique geek scarf that anyone would love.

One Scarf to Rule Them All

This Lord of the Rings inspired scarf was created by Ravelry user Tina Yeung (aka Tiny Tuna). The Elvish writing that circles around each end of the scarf translates to “One Ring to Rule them All, One Ring to find them, One Ring to Bring them All and in the Darkness bind them” from Tolkien’s famous novels. What better way to stay warm and profess your nerd hood?

Four Sided Cufflinks

Anyone can wear a quirky tie, but a real geek needs more. These 4 sided dice cufflinks are just what’s needed! Findstotreasure has a wide selection of geeky cufflinks, including dominoes and coins that are perfect for gifts or weddings. For those that just aren’t satisfied with the d4 effects, there do have d20 cufflinks to help you confirm that you are the master geek in any swanky party.
