The Bubble Wrap Cap!





Here is my first FO for the Lonesome Skein Knitalong. Not a moment too soon, right? It's a great cap with lots of stretch to fit a range of head sizes. Amazing what a weekend confined to bed with bronchitis will do for your knitting time.

I designed the pattern to be forgiving for gift giving, not too tight not too loose. It easily fits 21-23" heads. My daughters said the stitch pattern looks like bubble wrap, so voila, the Bubble Wrap Cap. I can post the pattern if anyone is interested. Only used about one third of the skein.
