A rugged, comfortable cap that is perfect for crisp weather and camping, Appalacian Ridge sits closely to the head and ends near the bottom of the ear. Cable detailing on the edge gives way to stretchy ribbing to fit a variety of head sizes and finishes off with random decreases for an effortless- looking crown. Size can be customized via either heavy blocking (or lack thereof) or increasing/decreasing the number of cast on stitches. It can also be worn towards the back of the head for a slouchier hipster look. Come check out my group, Bumblebee Knits and join the fun!
