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 Dixie Myers on 2009-12-12
this is my all-time favorite winter cap to knit. I've made it for myself, for friends of all ages, for the men in my life as well. Made it in all wool, mohair and wool, etc. It always turns out perfectly and is a fabulous "carry-along" project! Suggestion: for a really warm cap, use two strands of wool. This will make a thick, extra-warm cap.
