Spring can be chilly, so a wool cap ain't out of season. Worked up in oh-so-appropriate green yarn, this one is super simple, with a twist. Textured stitches are worked doubled, through first the back and then the front loop of the stitch. Totally nifty.

• MC: Patons Merino Wool-1 skein (3½ ounces/100 grams, 223 yards) -- I used approximately 1/3 skein. Color Deep Olive
• CC: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes (50 grams, 100 yards) -- I used approximately 20 yards. Color Avocado
• (One skein of each is enough to make at least two skull caps, with lots of leftovers from the Knit Picks -- perfect scrap yarn project)
• J (6.0 mm) hook
• I (5.5 mm) hook
• Tapestry needle

Fits an average sized head (about 21½” in circumference). To make smaller (for a child), skip Round 6. To make larger (about 23” in circumference), add another increase round after Round 6 and work Round 9 twice. For the well above average head, add two increase rounds after Round 6 and work Round 9 three times.

13 dc = 4" using J (6 mm) hook

Back Front Single Crochet (bfsc):  Insert hook in back loop of stitch and draw up a loop, insert hook in front loop of same stitch and draw up a loop (2 loops on hook), yo and draw through all three loops on hook.
