This liberty cap crochet pattern is a modern take on the Phrygian cap, soft hats that became associated with liberty in our ancient and recent past, including during the American Revolution. It fits snugly like a beanie and the tip can be styled multiple ways. This is the third pattern in the 4th Annual International Crochet Month Blog Hop.
