Bocce Cap knitting pattern

Description

A slouchy cap in four sizes (XS/S/M/L) that features a delicious textural mix of garter stitch stripes and cables reminiscent of the patterning seen on bocce balls. Knit in a springy sport-weight yarn, the fabric will drape beautifully but still have plenty of body to form a warm cocoon around ears and head. The easy to knit motifs and simple cable crosses make for a completely portable project that will appeal to beginning and experienced knitters alike. Matching Motif: Coordinates perfectly with the Baci Scarf or Cowl to make a terrific gift set for yourself or someone else.

Better Breakfast Fingering, Stone Soup Fingering, Modern Deco Sport, Finn Dandy Sport, or any soft sport yarn with 250 to 300 yards per 4 ounces
