A warm hat for tinies to talls and everyone in between!
This cozy hat keeps precious heads from Newborn to Adult X-Large toasty warm! The helmet style is knitted from the top down and reflects the actual shape of the head, leaving an opening for the face, but covering the back of the head and the ears.
Through the end of January all proceeds from sales of this pattern will be donated to CASA/GAL, a nationwide Court Appointed Special Advocates program that trains and supports court-appointed volunteer advocates for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. Every child should be given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home.
