There’s something really disturbing about this photo…can’t put my finger on it but I think it has something to do with the smile and the wanna be rasta look. Here’s the non-dreadlocks version…not much better either.
What Not to Crochet
because there's always one more crochet design that shouldn't be made!

Oooo, now that’s a classic!
Mostly, I see that first picture as a silly handsome white dude trying to pretend he’s black
It also reminds me of an old picture of a sea monster octopus engulfing a sailing vessel

That gives me an idea…… An octopus hat!

uh nevermind……came back to sanity.

Ugh! Such poor craftsmanship. In the second photo you can see that the hat was worked in continuous rounds, which is totally unacceptable (and fugly) when striped are used.

kinda matches the octopus hat in your profile pic!

HAHA Looks like some hot pads I made for my kids to use in their dorms. LOL Definitely looks better as the hot pads!

Well, those colors don’t go with white dude’s skin tone at all, and the ugly shades don’t help.

I like the colours of the African flag.

Actually, those are Rasta colors. The Pan-African flag is red, green, and black. Not even sure if it’s still used.

It’s that combination of colors as well as continuous rounds. That baby poop yellow hurts my eyes. The “dreds” speak for themselves. This young man must have been drunk or high to let anyone take his photo in that mess. Either that or he was paid very well.

Honestly…I’ve NEVER been THAT high.

On my two week cruise last year, four older Aussie blokes (in their 60′s) wore these hats with the dreadlocks to almost every evening show and daytime activity. Their good humored attitude allowed them to carry off wearing these hats. They had purchased them in Jamaica a few years ago and now wore them on all of theirvacations. They actually made this hat fun which is quite an accomplishment!

Rethinking this…
I bet this would be a popular accessory at a fraternity party
(Not that I would know)

Ahah!
It’s a Halloween costume

Ha ha! Not where I found it but this is definitely a better use for it!

I think the glasses are the Photoshop-challenged man’s way of protecting that poor shirtless man’s identity.

Ha! First, the dude’s dreads look totally fake – he’s too white and frankly, he’s too clean-looking. Not that all dread-wearers need a shower, but he’s too “well-kept” looking – again the dreads are too “perfect.” DUMB. Poser!

If you have been on a Caribbean Cruise, you can find caps like this for sale on all the islands, dreadlocks and all.

I’m not sure I understand the necessity of the bare chest in the first pic . . . but I like it! Took me a sec to realize the hat was the focus, hubba!
