What a cute, quirky pattern this is. God bless knitty.com and the great work they do :)
It may look like a novelty hat, but it's not just a novelty hat, it's also an exercise in short-row shaping and using double pointed needles, both of which are such useful skills to have that they justify making it on their own.
The only real modification I made was to slip the first stitch of every second row of a new colour, to make the stripes jogless.
