Do you want to take my Thick Knot Top Hat pattern from this...
And turn it into a sleep cap like this...
Well, I'm going to tell you how!
Modification #1 - The Brim
Instead of a knit rolled edging use a ribbed edging. On this 3-6mth one I did 3x3 (k3p3) but you could use whatever combination you like (2x2, 3x1, 1x1, etc!). Then do a purl round to finish it off. *Note - I would advise doing 1/2in less in length to the first decrease when doing a ribbed edging over a rolled edge.
Modification #2 - The Stripes
My thick Knot Top Hat has a 4 round stripe repeat. For the Sleep Cap I did a 12 round stripe repeat.
Modifications #3 - Extending the Length
To make the Sleep Cap longer on the last 2 sets of repeats instead of knitting 1 round knit something like 8-12 rounds. I did knit 8 rounds, decrease, knit 12 rounds decrease work the length as stated in my Thick Knot Top Hat to form the length needed to add the knot at the end.
That's it! It's that simple! Don't forget to share your creations from my patterns on my facebook wall! I love to see how people personalize my patterns.
