Help for Haiti: From January 16 to Feb 5, 50% of my sales from this pattern will go towards MSF/Doctors without Borders. The firm my husband works for will make a matching contribution. I’ll announce the total amount donated at the end of the time period.

Matching mittens are available separately, or purchase both together in the set.

Cayuga Hat

Worked in a luxurious and lofty merino and baby camel blend, the Cayuga hat is a slouchy cap sure to ward away the winter’s chill. A wide band made up of twigs and berries against a purl background is worked first. The rest of the cap follows with picked up stitches that are knit in plain stockinette. Extra slouch is achieved by short rows in the front. For less slouch, simply cut out these rounds.

Note: This pattern is for the Hat only. If you’re interested in the set, the Cayuga Set (which includes the hat and mittens patterns) is offered at a 25% discount off the individual prices.
