After finding the "normal" Jayne pattern at crafster.org, I poked around a bit...and found this great pattern for tiny jayne hats. Perfect for your GI Joe that wishes he was as cool as Jayne.
*Pattern is untested / I'm hoping to knit this sometime next week. If it works, I'm gonna make a bunch and sell them locally as Christmas ornaments.

Maggie's Tiny Jayne Hat Pattern
Jayne hat for a 12 inch action figure, i.e. GI Joe or Barbie sized.

I use size zero (2mm) needles with Plymouth Galway 100% wool yarn in orange, gold and rust.

CO 24 orange
K1P1 around 1 row
K 4 rows st st
change to gold
K 5 rows
K2 K2tog around
K 1 row
K1 K2tog around
K 1 row
K2tog around
K2tog around again, to end with six stitches
break yarn and pull through remaining stitches
pull through and weave in end
earflaps:
pick up 6 stitches in rust
work 6 rows st st except first and last stitch, which is garter
k2 k2tog k2
purl
k1, mitred double decrease, k1
purl
mitred double decrease
Pull yarn through to make a long loop.
Cut the long loop and the yarn going to the ball, to leave three long ends.
Braid, tie off in overhand knot, and trim to have short ends.
Repeat for other earflap, making sure they line up over the action figure's ears.
For the pompom, I cut one-foot lengths of each color, separate the four singles that make up one strand of Galway yarn, combine them so there is one single of each color, and then cut to 3/4 inch pieces and lay them flat on a strand of gold. When the pile is thick enough, tie very tightly in a square knot, sew the pompom on, and trim. (I use a strand of gold yarn separated into just two singles to tie the pompom, since it's less bulky.)
Weave in all ends, and voila! A cunning Jayne hat!

OMG that's so awesome! I'll see if I have time to whip up a couple this weekend. I know my son will want them for his GI Joes. ("action figures" not "dolls" as he keeps reminding me!)

Is it wrong to want to knit a Jayne hat for my dog??? Is it?

Nice looking hat there. Would look great on my kids GI Joes. LOL!

Now all that jibberish you wrote there about knitting I suppose? Went to school for Recombinant Genetics and all, but couldn't understand a lick of what ya wrote there.

ok but do you have a jayne hat pattern that would fit a baby about to turn one with a smallish head?

MsG & Penguin:

Tried to find a pattern sized for a child - no such luck. I did find this person selling them on ebay:

I am going email a friend (who is a knitting goddess) the pattern and see if she will rewrite the pattern so it will fit about a 15" head. I'll get back to you! I can follow directions, but beyond that...

I think you got me beat on that one!
Knitting was beyond my capabilities...though my grandmother did try.
