I was also thinking of knitting the hat purple, and then knit just 3
rows of blue stripes bordered by one stripe of black to set them off
and then the rest of the hat in purple. The blue could match the
Oswald color.

I might make a 2-color ribbed band on the bottom and the rest of the
hat purple, and then duplicate st the octopus on plus maybe something
else from the show, perhaps just "Oswald" on the other side of the hat
in duplicate st block letters.
Or, if I wanted to be really different, I might be tempted to do a
2-color rib and then instead of a pompom put the octopus body at the
very top of the hat and make I-cord legs and randomly sew them down or
leave them to dangle like tassels.

Yes, I was thinking of knitting the octopus body as a ball and then
lightly stuffing it, embroidering the face and sewing it tot he top of
the hat with I-cord legs! I think that would be very cute.
I'm actually getting a little excited about knitting this for
him. :-)
