Knitted Baby Cap
Uses sport weight yarn, size 6 needles, and a blunt end tapestry needle. One 2.5 ounce skein will make 3 caps. You can vary the cap by adding contrasting colors of yarn for accent. Use your imagination! Caps will be 10 inches wide at the cuff edge. (If you want to use worsted weight yarn, cast on 44 stitches, use size 8 needles and proceed as for the sport weight directions.)
Cast on 48 stitches.

Cut the yarn, leaving a 20 inch piece.
Thread it through a tapestry needle and draw the yarn through the remaining stitches on the needle.
Slip the stitches off the needle and draw them up to form a circle. Sew the seam by whip stitching the edges together.
Turn up the bottom edge to form a cuff.
