Just checked the web site about the colors because I'm a little analretentive
and it said the hats need to be dark color. I don't know if we want to go by that or not but thought I would throw that out there.

I am going to go by the colours listed on that site. I figure they have been doing this for a while and they know what their talking about.

[QUOTE=Irishjl;31017]According to the military, the hats have to be either dark blue, camo, dark gray, dark brown or black. Also, they have to be 100% wool as acrylic yarn will melt in the heat. I don't know about crocheted hats, but knitted ones have to be in stockingette stitch so they can be worn under a helmet and so they can be folded to fit into a pocket. They ask that you do not use bulky yarn or double the yarn when making the hat. Hope this helps some.[/QUOTE]
This is where I got those colours in my head, LOLOL

Ok, If and when I get it I will use it and if they can't wear it someone can take it home with them. I'm still hoping there is a women in the bunch. The wool is from Ebay and coming from China so it has taken a long time to get here. I got a deal on it so I hope it is worth the wait. The only bad thing about Ebay other than the addictive problem is that some things take a long time to get here.
