We've got a new tutorial available for knitters!

Another New Free Pattern - For Straight Knitting Needles!

Adult Loose Winter Cap Pattern - For Straight Needles

    We're happy to oblige with this new hat pattern, designed to be knitted with straight knitting needles.

The ribbing on the base of the cap allows it to fit most heads.
