Ice Ribbons Cap is part of a 3-piece collection (“e-book”) that includes cuffs, cowl, and cap. The single pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the entire set. While the designs are not sold individually, the 3-pattern set is only $6!

A trio of chill chasers -- cap, cowl, and cuffs -- keep the cold at bay without overheating. The easy lace rib works up quickly and can be blocked aggressively to show off the pretty openwork, or left unstretched for closer fitting warmth.

The simple lace rib pattern of the cap, which flows into the basic ribbed band, provides plenty of stretch, so the one size will fit most everyone.

2 skeins of the suggested yarn will make all 3 pieces.
