Hats On - Turkish Cap

Great book by Charlene Schurch. I wanted to explore fair isle without the commitment of a sweater or falling prey to sss (second sock syndrome) so decided a hat would be the ticket. Not my first attempt at a hat. In my knitting infancy...I knit a beret for my mom. I've never seen her wear it, dont know what happened to it...and it was before digital cameras were so affordable. So I gues I have no proof that these arent my first. But they came out very nice.

Using the pattern for the Turkish cap, I've finished one for my husband, and one for my youngest son. The third hat for my oldest is currently on the sticks.

Yarn: Pattons Classic Wool Merino

Kneedles: Size 4 DPNs gave me correct guage.

After finishing my husband's, we realized that the caps were too tall(and yes...the guage remained accurate). So I shortened the kids using the height of the medium size hat with the width of the large.

Lets see if they actually wear them.
