Caliper
A simple hat with two fit and yarn options: A worsted weight beanie and DK weight scrunchy toque. Small cable insets and twisted rib add just enough interest without slowing you down. A toggle and I-cord drawstring on the Scrunchy version adds a fun twist. Perfect for quick gift knitting or creating a warm hat for yourself before a cold front rolls in.
Both hats are worked from the bottom up in the round. Instructions are written and a chart of the cable is also included. A photo tutorial is given on the last page for assembling the DK scrunchy version drawstring and toggle.
