RIPPLE CAP

Thank you Jo NY for testing this pattern.

This pattern has three sizes of the Ripple Cap that was designed to match the Ripple Sleep Sack. It is shown here in the baby's size (15 inch). There are also sizes to fit older children/teens and ladies.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn approximately ? ounces
G (4.5 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle

NOTES:
1. Read the pattern all the way through before beginning.
2. In the photo I alternated two rounds of each color. You can do as many as or as few color changes as you like. Since the color changes are personal choice I don’t tell you when to change colors in the instructions.
3. When changing color complete the last stitch of the round with the new color.
