Sí, Capitán!
Inspired by many similar caps floating around, I decided to create one of my own. It’s easy to memorize and fits from a child to an adult with a big head or lots of hair! Knit this up in a couple of hours for a quick gift.
Best of all, it takes only ONE skein of a yarn that’s like drugs for your fingers! If you haven’t knit with Catalina Alpaca yet, you’re missing out. Hurry up and go get some before it finishes!
Pattern: Capitán by Rosi G.
Yarn: Catalina Chunky Alpaca, 1 skein (109 yds)
Gauge: 3.5 sts and 6 Rnds per inch in Stockinette
Needle Size: US 10 (I used a 16” Addi Turbo and dpns for the top)
Notions: 2 really cute buttons (the ones shown were purchased at M&J Trimmings)

Wow, GREAT hat!!! It’d be so fantastic in handspun (I like the one-skein stuff for handspun – I’m not doin’ more than a skein or two!)

Very cute hat! Love how it turned out!
January 12th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Very cool — thanks so much for sharing the pattern!

What a beautiful hat! I’m making mine tonight during the game. Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love how the hat came out and it is totally different. I am probably going to end up knitting one of these.
January 12th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I love that hat! That is fabulous! I will definitely link this hat.
January 12th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Totally rad. I agree it’s hot, and like Alyson said, perfect for handspun. However I want one now, so I went and bought yarn for it. Get ready to start that galery girl.

Aha! I have a skein of chunky alpaca and now I know what to knit with it! I only wished it was red like yours! Thanks for that great pattern!
January 13th, 2008 at 10:29 am
So damn cute! Now if only I wasn’t dorky looking where I could pull such a cool hat off!
January 13th, 2008 at 11:19 am
I second that emotion. Perfect for handspun

Great hat! I even have the yarn, some friendly knitter gave it to me for my birthday! : )
January 13th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Awesome hat! I added it to the que as I have to finish the projects I have started before I start another…I am trying to be good! Ravelry makes it very hard-too many enablers! Thanks for the pattern

That is a WICKED hat!
Does it not need some sort of reinforcement in the brim?
Must go stash-diving…NOW!

I LOVE THIS HAT!! I knit it in one day, and haven’t taken it off of my head since! (Well, I supposed I took it off to sleep…) What a wonderful, quick, cute little pattern. You are very talented.

Hi,
I’m currently making this hat. Almost done! But I need clarification on the last step in making the brim. I’m totally new to this. First time making something other than a scarf.
The last step after BO is “stitch open edge closed on bottom of brim.” Do you mean the PU edge between the hat and brim?

This pattern is great! I tried to download it though and it came out without text. Is it possible for me to get a copy from you?
Thanks, Kim
