This 16-page pattern creates a thick, warm, reversible ribbed cap with vertical stripes in 2 colors. Knitted in Brioche Rib from 2 colors of yarn, the cap is attractive, cushy and warm. The pattern contains written instructions for the gauge swatch and for knitting the cap, tips, and many detailed illustrations showing techniques used in making the cap, as well as tutorials on 2-color brioche rib techniques and the chain cast on. Also included are ideas for alternate yarn choices. See my projects for other possible yarns to use.
