Does anyone do requests? (kbin.social)

I have this hat (beanie type, I guess) that I've had for just about 20 years now. I've been wearing it regularly, and it still seems to be in good shape, but I know it won't last forever. I'm very attached to this hat, silly though it may sound.

I'd like to have a replica or two of it made. I don't have a pattern, but it's not all that complicated. Seems to be made of acrylic, although relatively high quality and comfortable. Not entirely certain. If I can find somebody in the Pacific Northwest to make it for me, I could bring the hat over.

Sorry if this type of request isn't what the community is for. I can provide pictures if anyone is interested.

I actually have a lot of hats. My second favorite hat is one that I knit over a decade ago. Unfortunately, I can't knit anymore (hurts my hands and wrists). I swap out with other hats here and there, but I always go back to my old favorite.

Ahh yes, hope you find someone who can help. Sorry about your hands :(

Appreciated, but I'm adapting! I'll try to get some pictures on here tomorrow and maybe someone will be able to help (obviously I would pay for time and materials). If not, I think there are local knitting groups that I could reach out to.

Tag me and I can ask those I know.
