Football Season is well under way and Schnapps has been spending time designing patterns that are simple and quick and can be knit in less time than it takes to watch a game. So far, he's got 12 new patterns this season. In the Huddle is in the post prior to this one. Kickoff is posted here free.

The rest of the football hats are in the new e-book "The Play Book". This e-book features 10 never before published patterns and sells for just $5. This is our big fundraiser for the year to help cover the shipping and supply costs for Delaware Head Huggers.
Every pattern in this book contains information for all yarn weights as well as how to adjust the size. If you can, please purchase this book, help us continue to ship hats all over the country and use the patterns to make a difference locally as well.
The e-book can be purchased by using the link to the right on this page or by going to my Ravelry store. That link is also to the right of this page. The photos below show the patterns included.
