Knitting pattern for Winter Pastel Cap by Pastelkollektivet
Here the cap is worked in Önling No 15, No 10 and No 12, which is a strand of merino, one strand of silk-mohair and one strand of wool/cotton held together. The result is a soft and warm cap, and with the different strands of yarn, there is great opportunity to play with colors, to get an interesting color profile.

Procedure: The cap is worked in stockinette sts with 4 strands of yarn held together. The crown and the brim are worked separately followed by attaching the knitted brim to the crown.
