Pattern Description from One-Skein Wonders: 101 Yarn-Shop Favorites: “Noro’s Silk Garden yarn subtly and beautifully blends a dozen colors in one dynamite skein. Not only is this cap a colorful wardrobe accessory, it’s also a delight to knit as you watch the half-inch stripes come to life. Knit in a mock-cable stitch, the cap’s scalloped edge is created by a row of single crochet; the crown is topped off with a sprinkling of French knots, to make use of every bit of the single skein.”
