White Watch Cap tutorial

Westport, CT

Here is Michael modeling the snug little White Watch Cap knit with 1 ball Gedifra "Marokko." There is barely any yarn left, so you might want to buy 2 skeins of yarn to be safe.

Directions:

Using size 6 dpns, cast on 92 stitches. (Or if you prefer, use 2 sets of size 6 circular needles to knit in the round).

Knit in a K2P2 ribbing pattern in the round for 5 1/2 inches. This cap will NOT have a folded cuff. If you want one, be sure to purchase 2 skeins of yarn and add about 2 inches.

Crown:

1st Row - K2tog, P2, around - 69 stitches remaining
2nd Row - knit the knits and purl the purls around
3rd Row - K1, P2tog around - 46 stitches remaining
4th Row - Knit around
5th Row - K2tog around - 23 stitches remaining
6th Row - Knit around
7th Row - K2tog around, knit final stitch - 12 stitches remaining

Cut 6 inch yarn tail. Tightly thread through the remaining 12 stitches. Weave in ends.
