Description

Drake is a classic watch cap worked in the round from the top down. The crown is worked in stockinette stitch followed by a hat body of 2 x 2 ribbing worked on a smaller needle to create a comfortable style perfect for men, women, boys, and girls. The sizing on this cap is very forgiving, so choose the size closest to the wearer’s head measurement. Drake is soft and cozy, perfect to wear for raking leaves and jumping in leaf piles on a Fall afternoon. Wear it as a stylish slouch, a European ski topper, or a classic watch cap for extra warmth.
