SHMBO is, too. Her choice of colours is somewhat more sober, in general, but I may be able to scrape up some scraps and plead with her. Hmmm...

Look, it's simple, really. We even have a model all ready and waiting...

Here's the instructions ('borrowed' from Kerry Ann Simpson, at '[url="http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-551-1.html"]Knitting Paradise[/url]'...)...

[color=#800080]-- I think I used size 10 U.S., 16" circular needles;
-- C/O a number divisible by 6, say 72 or 84 (depending upon size of head, yarn, etc. I think I cast on 78 or 84 for average man's size head. (So, place a marker after every 14th stitch for 84 stitches -- six sections around the circle).
-- Join yarn and start with a garter stitch, then switch to a st. st. after about an inch.
-- Change colors every few rows.
-- When the hat measures about 6" from the c/o row, decrease 6 stitches evenly every row until there are 6 stitches left (change to dps at about 36 sts.)
-- Cut yarn and weave end through last 6 stitches and tie off on wrong side.
-- Weave in ends. And, that's about it.[/color]

...which gives us this...

...so just get knitting, OK..?

Yes, you can sew a 'BC' patch on, when it's done.
Yes, you can change the colours (a little, not too much...).
Yes, it's good for metal, too.
Yes, it's fretless (well, has caused me no worries up to now, at least...).
Yes we can.
Yes, girls are allowed to knit/own/wear one, too.
Yes, Milty, you can use the colours of any flag you wish.
Yes; may be worn left-handed.

Ah, if it had been a five string, I'd have had it.

Absolutely not!

I would never let anyone wearing a tea cosy on their head join any band I was a member of.

Man up or grow some hair.

I have a friend who wore an actual tea cosy as a hat for several years, complete with the word "teapot" stitched into it. This was usually accompanied by massive bell bottoms and lots of brightly coloured fake fur. If she'd been a musician, she would have looked great in a band, provided the band sounded something like Gong circa 1973!
