This is a hat pattern that I developed months ago. I offered it as a free pattern to anyone who would donate a finished cap to Operation Marine Corps Kids. Now that Marine Corps Kids is up and running, I am posting the pattern in hope that even more people will enjoy it and send a donation to the cause. Many thanks to all of the generous crocheters who already sent caps for the babies.

Oh my! I can't believe this pattern has been up for so long and nobody questioned me on the omitted information! Thank you!
