COLLEEN’S SUPER EASY KNIT CAP
This hat is knit on two needles. It is super easy to knit, and the pattern can easily be memorized.
It has a very elegant look to it.
NOTE FROM COLLEEN: I have increased the number of rows for the ribbing….just seems
to look better with 5 or 6 rows of rib. Please check your gauge so it is not too loose. Cancer
Patients don’t like to see their bald heads through the cap.
