This beanie/skull cap design is inspired by the Shift motif pattern in Andrea Rangel’s Alterknit Stitch Dictionary, which is available in bookstores and libraries. With permission from Andrea, the author of the Alterknit Stitch Dictionary, the motif pattern has been incorporated into the pattern. The Shift motif pattern is found on page 28 of the book.

The pattern calls for two skeins of Cascade 220 worsted yarn. The cap requires enough yarn in two colors to create a cap that is approximately 55g with stranded knitting.
