Description

This is a TOTAL classic style! Don't you just love the extra-extra-long stocking cap?! It's just adorable with Old School charm and a cuteness factor that is through the roof... can't you just picture your kid/grandkid/nephew/whoever wearing this awesome hat?? I can't wait to make it myself. The pattern is a sort of twisted ribbing - a really cool looking stitch!

If you change the needles or yarn, you can adjust the gauge to get an adult size... so you can nab this great style for yourself. :)
