Sí, Capitán!

12th January 2008

posted in Finished in 2008, Hats and Gloves |

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!)

I absolutely love how the hat came out and it is totally different. I am probably going to end up knitting one of these.

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.

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.
