Created from the DNA of bounty hunter Jango Fett, the clone army was secretly commissioned by Count Dooku and Chancellor Palpatine under false pretenses that it was necessary to protect the Republic from a potential future galactic war. Growing at an accelerated rate on the planet Kamino, the clone army numbered in the thousands and was trained to kill without hesitation. While identical in their appearances, a distinct white helmet and matching armor is worn by most phase one clones—a precursor to armor worn by stormtroopers later on.

Knit in the round from the bottom up, this bold unisex hat starts off with corrugated ribbing. High-contrast clone trooper helmets worked in stranded colorwork march across the body of the hat, just like they would in battle, while the crown decreases spiral upward in the main color. Attach a tassel or pompom to stand out from the other clones.
