Boston Strong Hat PDF

As a Massachusetts based company we at WEBS, like so many others, were greatly saddened by the events at the Boston Marathon on April 15th, 2013. A day of sorrow and fear, but more importantly, a day of heroes. To that end we are happy to offer the Boston Strong Hat pattern from designer Lisa McFetridge, a colorwork design featuring the words “Boston Strong” and the Boston Skyline. The designer has also included some additional charts so you have options to really make this hat your own.

All proceeds from the sale of this cap pattern will go to OneFundBoston to help the victims.
