Here is a deliciously soft, warm, and lightweight cap in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) to match the Vanilla Velvet scarf/cowl. Classic cable twists cuddle your ears and head to ward off the chill of fall, winter, or early spring. Knit here with a sumptuous luxury blend, it would be equally cozy in a nubbly yarn choice if a rustic look is what you have in mind. Worked in knit/purl combinations with occasional simple cable crosses, this is a great project for new cable knitters and a relaxing distraction for those more experienced. A great way to use a single trophy skein too!
