Watch Cap

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Chunky

GAUGE:

14 sts +19 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) 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.

Watch Cap Reviewed by LS on 2009-03-08 *****
I have a large head and this was a great hat for me. I made it in black. I might have used a lighter color so I could see my mistakes better, but it was a easy knit for a beginner like me.
