You can buy the yarn in Wal-Mart or Michaels
Soldier’s Hat

Size 8 needles
You can buy camouflage yarn at Supper Wal Mart. One skein makes three hats

Yarn Black camouflage, brown, or dark green-about 2 ounces, Worsted weight

 Cast on 72 stitches

 Row 1: k2, p2, across ending with p2

 Row 2 repeat first row or make one more row to keep the band from rolling

Row 3: knit

Row 4: Purl

Repeat these last 2 rows until the hat is 7” from the start; end on a purl row.

 K2 together across the row

Purl a row

K2 together across the row

Last row: purl across

Cut yarn about 14 inches, using a large eye needle pull yarn through the remaining stitches , pull tight and sew up the seam. I use the yarn left over at the bottom of the hat to sew up the last part of the seam. 

These hats go under the helmets so they can not be too large.
