Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday, a fresh, new, free pattern every week!

They’re kooky, they’re quirky, they’ll make you a hero on the golf course! They may not improve your stroke, but they will make the game a little more enjoyable. And they’re super fun to knit in bright or classic colors. They’re a portable knit, too, so they make for great cottage, camp or car knitting. They start with a long ribbed cuff in two-round and four-round stripes and continue into a Fair Isle head. Top each one with a fluffy pompom. Three different styles are presented here in color chart form; pick your favorite or work all three. Once you start, they’re hard to put down. They’re a great worsted weight stash buster too!

CONSTRUCTION:

-There are 3 styles of Birdy Caps, A, B & C, each with a different Fair Isle motif. Either Magic Loop or multiple dpn’s may be used.
-Golf club caps are worked from the cuff upwards, beginning with 2-rnd stripes, then moving to 4-rnd stripes.
-Heads are worked in the stranded knitting technique
-Topped with a 2” pompom
