Crochet Helmet Liner

Designed by the Feisty Hooker©

This pattern was made especially for my friend Michelle, whose son is currently
serving our country in the Army. She was asked about a crocheted pattern for
those volunteering to crochet liners instead of knitting them. I have proudly done
so and here it is. This pattern is supposed to be easy, however, this is my first
published pattern, just because it sounds good in my head, it may not in yours. So
if you need help or have any questions, you can email me at thefeisty-
hooker@gmail.com. If anyone you know is interested in this pattern, please feel
free to share it, however, you do not have my permission to sell it.
Enjoy!!!
