Pam loves a little pointed cap. This one, in Cheviot, is warm and cozy, and decorated with two simple Fair Isle patterns, one in red, the other blue. With one skein each of three colors, you could work up multiple versions by swapping the colors. The brim is worked in cushy garter stitch instead of a standard rib for a relaxed fit and lots of warmth. In Cheviot, it’s ultra warm and buoyant!
