I'm having a Firefly marathon next month and a friend asked if I could knit a Jayne hat for it.
Sure! I said, and then had to hunt down a pattern. After combing the plethora of Jayne Hat patterns on the interwebz (okay, on Ravelry) I adapted a couple that I liked best and came up with my own slightly modified version of this rather easy hat. While my pattern isn't totally original, it was adapted from other free ones, so I'll include mine here, too, and add to the Legend...

Jayne Hat, KiKi's version

Tapestry needle
Pom pom maker (optional)
1 skein each worsted weight yarn in red, orange and yellow (I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Scarlet, Terra Cotta and Red Heart Gold). This hat will not use up three skeins; you can probably get a couple of hats out of these.
Size: Adult Small (Adult Large)
With orange yarn and CO 72 (84) sts, 18 (21) on each of four dpns (alternately, you can use a 16 in circular needle but I find changing to dpns irritating so I knit the whole hat on dpns from the beginning). Join to work in the round and place marker.

Work 15 rounds stockinette stitch.
Change to yellow yarn and work 15 more rounds.
