Thinking Cap PDF

patternSleek and seamless! Thinking Cap by Churchmouse is inspired by a read-to-wear Italian cashmere cap.   The super fine fabric is doubled at the cuff with a tiny joining welt for extra warmth. The cool welt can be popped with a fun contrast color.  It's knit using fine gauge yarn such as Pebble or Pure Cashmere.  Yes - the needles are tiny and the details a little fussy but it's worth it!   FINISHED SIZES Approx. 19”/48cm around x 10”/25 cm long; fits 20-23”/51-58cm head. YARN Approx. 365 yds/334m of lace-weight yarn (includes approx. 15 yds/14m for welt). Note: Choose a yarn that has a little woolly structure and soft drape. Plus 5 yds/m smooth fingering-weight waste yarn for provisional cast-on. Shown in 2 skeins Shibui Pebble Color 2001, Abyss.
