Knit this cozy, deeply cuffed cap for him. Then borrow it back—if you can! It’s handsome worn turned up for traditional sailor style, but we love it uncuffed and slouchy, too.

Worked in a heavy worsted-weight yarn, this cap is a quick knit, which is great because you’re bound to be asked for more.
