Notes

Out of yarn! I received this yarn in a grab bag from Nordic Mart. 1 ball of blue, one ball of brown. I thought I could do the ear band in blue and the crown in brown. But I’m out of blue.

So my stash busting project has forced me into buying more yarn. (plus a little bit more…) It’s on the way.

01.31.18 - As long as I bought more blue, I just knit the whole thing in blue. This was going to Ben in Denver, but Paul has claimed it for snow shoveling.

I knit it to the 5” called for in the pattern before beginning to decrease, but it made for a taller cap than I like. It doesn’t fit tight to his shaved head. If I make another one, I’d start decreasing about 4.75”.

Super warm. I love the way it cups around the ears and leaves room at the back of the neck. It stays in place, rather than sliding up or down with movement.
