Let's be cute damn heroes!
No nerd knitter worth his/her yarn weight has not at least contemplated making a Jayne hat despite the controversy. It has the perfect combination of being both easy to recognize and easy to execute.

This pattern was specifically designed for my Tentacle Kitty plushie, but modifications are easy for the toy of your choice. Gauge is about 5 stitches x 7 rows per 1 square inch (knitter, know thy gauge!).

You can't stop the signal!

Step 1
With orange yarn, CO 84 stitches. Join in the round, being careful not to twist.

Place markers at stitches 21, 29, 57, and 66 for the ear flaps. (You can also do this at the end if you want to eyeball about where the flaps will be.)
Step 2
Rounds 1-7: (k1, p1)* repeat for ribbed edge

Note: removable stitch markers should remain on the cast-on edge rather than move up.
Step 3
Rounds 8-13: k all
Step 4
Round 14: switch to yellow yarn; k all.
Step 5
Round 15: k 24, BO 10, k 15, BO 10, k 25
Step 6
Round 16: k 24, CO 10, k15, CO 10, k 25 ; ear holes created!
Step 7
Rounds 17-23: k all
Step 8
Round 24: (k 5, k2tog)* repeat
Step 9
Round 25: (k 4, k2tog)* repeat; switch to dpns when necessary.
Step 10
Round 26: (k 3, k2tog)* repeat
Step 11
Round 27: (k 2, k2tog)* repeat
Step 12
Round 28: (k 1, k2tog)* repeat
Step 13
Round 29: k2tog around
Step 14
Round 30: k2tog around
Step 15
Cut yarn. Thread through stitches and tie tight.
Weave in ends.
Step 16
For earflaps, with right size facing use red yarn to pick up 9 stitches in between the markers on both side.

Stockinette stitch for about 1/2" or desired length. For best results, slip the first stitch on every row. End on a RS row.
Step 17
To decrease:

Row 1: Slip 1 wyif, P2Tog, P5, P2Tog-TBL, K1 (9 sts)
Row 2: Slip 1 wyif, SSK, K3, K2Tog, K1 (7 sts)
Row 3: Slip 1 wyif, P2Tog, P2, P2Tog-TBL, K1 (5 sts)
Row 4: Slip 1 wyif, SSK, K2 (4 sts)
Row 5: Slip 1 wyif, P2Tog, K1 (3 sts)
Row 6: K3Tog (1 st)

Cut yarn leaving long strand (for one of the dangling yarn bits at the end of the earflap) and pull through remaining stitch.

Cut another piece of yarn slightly more than double this length and attach to end of earflap; attach for fringe. Trim to desired length.
Step 18
Using all three colors, Make a pom pom and attach to top.
