Duality Watch Cap Pattern

Duality Watch Cap

Available in The Knitted Hat Book

You get more than you might expect with this versatile slouchy hat. It’s knit with two yarns held together for a marled effect and an extra-warm fabric. The main color stays the same, and the second color is changed to go from darker to lighter to create a gradient. Wear it with the brim folded up, watch-cap style, or down, as a toque.
