Simple Knitted Cap

Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

13 sts + 19 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k every round) with larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

CAP
With smaller circular needles, cast on 56 (64, 72) sts. Place marker and join in a round, being careful not to twist stitches.

Work 10 rows of K2, P2 Rib. Change to larger circular needles. Work even in St st until cap measures 4 (4½, 5) inches from beginning.

Crown shaping
