• Product description

  An elfin cap deeply textured with twisted stitches and topped with a cheerful sunburst belongs in every child’s cubby. The stretchy fabric will accommodate almost any head size, and directions are given for lengthening the beanie to fit an adult. The hat begins with a tubular cast-on at the brim and stitch motifs are given entirely in charts. Deck the whole family with Husks of different colors for autumn rambles, camping, and bear hunts—a single skein of Shelter will suffice for all but the largest size.

  • Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

  *32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs and 16″ circular if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round.

  Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. Please test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
