The Cheery Scrap Cap is a fun mix-n-match colorwork pattern, great for using up oddments of worsted weight yarns. Two completely separate chart motif versions are included—a girly one featuring a row of hearts, and a more masculine version featuring skull & crossbones. Ear flaps are knit first, then worked seamlessly into the cast-on round. Pattern includes colorwork tips, instructions for tassels and now 6 fully charted sizes from Newborn through Adult. You won’t get bored knitting this colorful cap or looking at it afterward. It’s a great stash buster as well; feel free to experiment with colors or moving the charted patterns around.

In addition, Kate has published 2 additional chart options, for snowmen & for trees! Click here to visit those charts on Kate’s blog. A set is also available that includes a page of bonus Wintry Charts AND the Diplodocus Sweater. Any of these charts can be mixed and matched throughout these designs.

This happy scrappy little ear flap hat design first appeared in Petite Purls Magazine and has now been upgraded with new sizes and put into PDF form.
