A top-down, classic, “stocking cap” for little boys (and girls). Quick and easy to knit, and top-down means it can be tried on and fitted as you go.

This hat was designed in honor of the Pat Pat’s Hats charity which collects knit hats for children of all ages to be donated to Yale New Haven’s Children’s Hospital in Connecticut so that the children receiving treatment there can take a hat home if they need one. For more information about the touching story behind the charity drive and how to help, please find them on Facebook as “PatPat’s Hats” or join us on the ravelry group of the same name.
