This cap is a quick and quite fun project. The cap is worked in stockinette sts with 4 strains of yarn held together. Combine one strain of no 15, one strain of no 10, and two strains of no 12. The crown and the brim are worked separately followed by attaching the knitted brim to the crown. You will need a curved brim. The knitted brim should fit a standard curved brim, which measurements are shown on the last page of the pattern. I found a cap in a secondhand store, tore it open, and used the curved brim from it.

The Pastel Winter Cap comes in 2 sizes, and both are adjustable.
Sizes: size 1 adjustable (suitable for a head circumference of 56 cm and below) size 2 adjustable (suitable for a head circumference of 56 cm and above). When choosing your size, it is mostly the length of the crown differing between the two sizes, though the head circumference is also adjusted a bit.

Yarn: 50 g Önling no 15, 25 g Önling no 10 and 115 g Önling no 12.

Materials: circular needles 4 mm (40 cm and 100/120 cm when using the magic loop technique alternatively you can use double pointed needles (dpns)), a curved brim (I have used one in plastic), 5 stitch markers and potentially a st holder.
