Mariners Knot Watchcap

Sailors love their knots and ropework. Sailors love to have warm heads whether they're on the deep blue sea, a freshwater lake, or just fishin' off the pier. I knit this cozy watchcap for a sailor on an aircraft carrier, as part of the annual Hats for Sailors event - but landlubbers, I think you'll like it too! The combination of deep ribbing, cables, and bulky wool yarn will keep your mateys warm despite wind, waves, and weather!

Until the end of September 2021, I'm donating ALL of my profits from the sale of this pattern to the highly-rated charity Operation Gratitude., which supports the U.S. military, veterans, first responders, the wounded, caregivers, and their families. Annually, Operation Gratitude sends over 300,000 care packages containing personal letters of support, handmade items, food, hygiene items, and other accessories. You can read more about this great charity, which was founded in 2003, at OperationGratitude dot com and on CharityNavigator dot org.
