Sock Monkey Hat...for Boys and Girls!

A while back (we're talking around November 2010) I started making sock monkey hats, as seen here modeled by one of my dogs, since my son wasn't here yet!

She wasn't too happy about it, but at least she stayed put! I love this hat, especially because it is so easily customizable. All of the colors can be changed. I think it looks best with the base of white and grey, and then adding accent colors. The braids, stripe, pom pom (or flower) and edging can be done in a variety of colors...I have frequently done the braids with 2-3 different colors of yarn. Here is an examples of a "girl" version:
