Pattern Description:

I wanted to design a stocking cap that would be fun for everyone from children to adults to wear. One that gave you options to add ornaments to rather it be Christmas, Easter, the Fourth of July, or even Halloween. Ornaments may be added to the pattern later, but I invite you to be creative - there are lots of free patterns for ornaments available everywhere online! Have fun with it and wear your hat proudly! It's uber warm because in a sense it's layered.
