Crocheted Calot Pattern with Extra Long Pigtail

Pigtail Calot: This pattern contains directions to crochet the hat pictured. This is more than just a hat ... it a wearable piece of functional art. First, we start out with a rather standard calot. To this an extra long braided pigtail is added. Here's where this one becomes functional. With just a little practice, you will gain the skills to lands this pigtail right where you want ... like that rude person in line behind you, or getting the milkmans attention in the dairy department, or making sure that door in front of you doesn't close and lock. You get the idea. But, first, you'll have to get the pattern and crochet this one.

This is a vintage 1930 pattern leaflet from the Spool Cotton Company, marketed as Pigtail Calot - No 132
