Jameson is a simple, unisex, ultra-wearable watch cap-style beanie worked from the top down using my favorite top down hat cast on: the disappearing circular cast on. Wear it unfolded and slouchy or folded for a handsome and rugged look.

Made in Harrisville Designs flyWHEEL, this sport weight, woolen spun is warm, gentle, and wearable with an array of dazzling heathers to chose from, but Jameson will work up beautifully in any heavy fingering/sport weight yarn.
