Sock Monkey Hat for Kids
Halos of Hope supports children's oncology centers across the country, and we're often told that fun and cheery kids caps are the ones kids choose most. We're challenging our knitters and crocheters to make a Sock Monkey Hat in the month of January and donate it to Halos of Hope.UPDATE!  Pat Salvatini, one of our Illinois-based volunteers, and an avid blogger, created a knitted version of the featured Red Heart pattern.  Check it out!  Thank you Pat, you're amazing!Both featured patterns are available as free downloads from Red Heart Yarns and Bernat Yarns.

• Make the hat in toddler, or largest, size.
• A worsted weight (4) yarn is best.
• Be sure the you choose is soft enough for a child's head that is stressed as a result of chemotherapy or radiation.
• Unsure about head size, check this chart for more information.

Our volunteers are sharing their sock monkey ideas on our Ravelry page.

Have fun!  We look forward to YOUR cap creations!
