The classic watch cap looks great on everyone. Fold up the brim to keep those ears warm while working or playing outdoors on cold windy days, or wear it pulled down for a little more neck protection. This no-nonsense cap is all about function, but not to worry--when you wear it, you’ll be lookin’ darn good. This cap is a simple and quick knit, perfect for a new knitter. The larger size is made using a larger needle size and gauge of 12 st and 20 rows to 4”
