Mr. Deeds Cap Knitting Pattern
Mr. Deeds Cap Knitting Pattern
While watching the old Gary Cooper movie "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" I fell absolutely in love with the quasi art deco windows in the background of the courtroom scene. Using them as my inspiration, I designed this hat. Knit in the round on circular and double-pointed needles, it is a great beginner project for stranded Fair Isle.

Sample Knit in: KnitPicks Wool of the Andes (100% Peruvian wool, worsted weight; 110 yards/50 gram ball) I skein each: Cloud, Brown Sugar and Firecracker Heather.
