SCALLOP EDGE CAP
Thank you, Virginia for testing this pattern.
SIZES: 16 (18) inches
MATERIALS:
Worsted weight
(4) yarn less than 1.5 ounces
US size 9 (5.5
mm) 16 inch circular knitting needle
US size 9 (5.5 mm) double point needles
Tapestry needle
Marker
US size 9 (5.5 mm) double point needles
Tapestry needle
Marker
GAUGE: 15 sts = 4 inches
NOTES:
- Read instructions all the way through
before beginning cap.
- Yarn used Red Heart Fiesta Pink
(discontinued color).
- You can use your preferred method for
knitting small diameter items. I
like double points, but you may use two circulars or one long circular as
well.
SPECIAL STITCH:
Drop stitch
gather stitch =
DSGS: Drop the next stitch on the left needle, and
unravel it all the way down including the cast on round. This will form a column of ladders. With the
right hand needle go from front to back under the ladders. Wrap the working yarn around the needle in
the back, and bring the newly formed loop to the front and top edge, gathering the
ladders. Place this new loop on the left hand needle. Knit this loop as a regular stitch, gathering
up the ladders into a scallop.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cast on 56 (64) sts with size 9 circular needle. Join and work in the round.
Place marker to
designate beginning of round.
Round 1: K. (56,
64 sts)
Round 2: P. (56,
64 sts)

The directions say to repeat every round until cap measures 4(4.5) inches from cast on edge. That includes the round where you scallop also? The picture does not look like there is 4 inches of scalloping. Love the pattern and want to do it correctly for my granddaughter. Thank you!!

I Think the larger size will fit up to about 1 year old. This is a good size chart.
