In solidarity with the occupiers of Wall St. and the other occupiers around the world, I bring you the 99% Hat.

It is intended to be an easy, warm hat that can be worked on and then worn while occupying.

All proceeds from this pattern go to the Occupy movement.

Please buy a pattern, donate a hat, donate some time, money, food, water, tents - whatever you can do!

You can find a movement near you at www.occupytogether.org

I am the 99%, YOU are the 99%!
