This is an old-fashioned (think “Scrooge” or “Wee Willy Winkie”) night or sleeping cap. The pattern is made for my husband, who has a rather large head (but little hair). I had 100 grams of this wonderful Great Northern Yak yarn, and decided it would be perfect for his cap. You could easily use any “sock” yarn, and you could make the pattern smaller or larger. My husband LOVES it, and sometimes pulls it all the way over his eyes!
