Take a plump, round yarn like Kelbourne Woolens Germantown (100% North American wool) and knit it at a tight gauge with big, 6x6 ribs and what do you get? A Cool Cap! Park Williams has created a hat that will become your best friend in winter: the dense fabric promises extra wind-blocking powers for the coldest days and the style can’t be beat in Germantown’s retro colorways.
A Cool Cap is available in 4 sizes and can be worn snug with little ease, like our sample, or looser if you prefer a relaxed look. The sizes listed below correspond to the stretched circumference of the finished hat. To achieve a look like our sample, choose a size that is 0-2” less than your head circumference and to achieve a relaxed look, 1-2” more than your head circumference.
- Size 1 (Child): 18.75” stretched circumference
- Size 2 (Adult S/M): 21.25” stretched circumference
- Size 3 (Adult M/L): 24” stretched circumference
- Size 4 (Adult XL): 26.75” stretched circumference
Each kit includes sufficient yarn for the size specified in the color of your choice, along with the pattern. We will purchase a copy of A Cool Cap for you via Ravelry, so you will automatically receive both a printed copy and an emailed PDF. If you would also like to have this pattern in your Ravelry library, please note your Ravelry ID (not your password!) in the "Notes" field in your cart!
Please note that this kit does not include needles. You will need a US4 16” circular needle and US4 DPNs (or size needed to achieve gauge). If you don't already have the appropriate needle at home, you can shop Spun's selection of circular needles here and DPNs here.
If you'd like to make your kit a gift (for yourself or someone else), or if you just wish to keep your new project tidy and organized, add the Spun Rope Handle Bag with Pin to your order and we will package your purchase accordingly!
