12 Days of Christmas Hats: Day 2 - Camo Hat

All of my 12 Days of Christmas Hats were created as Christmas gifts for less fortunate students at my best friend's school in Nashville who do not have adequate winter wear. These patterns are available free of charge, but please consider making a donation here to help brighten a child's Christmas.

Got little hunter in your life? How about a wanna-be solider? Here is the perfect hat for them! This hat is sized for elementary school students (size L - 18"-22"), but this post can help you resize the pattern.
