I had knit several watch caps for my husband, ToolMan, from my handspun yarns. But he wanted a traditional golf, or driving cap. Knowing how the fabric caps of this kind are constructed, I thought about designing one that would be knit, with more shaping, with lining and an interior hatband to give it a more traditional, tailored appearance. With JMCO, it all clicked together; the construction problems I’d rolling around in my head were solved! And now, here it is for you. Enjoy!

About the book…
