Kits for Layer Cake Caps





These are four of the Kits that I have put together for the new Layer Cake Caps that I developed this weekend. They will come with a basic pattern for knitting caps and knitters will be able to vary the pattern depending upon the size needed, such as baby, child, adult woman, adult man. I am now obsessed with knitting these caps and putting together the kits. My goal will be to have 30 knitted plus 30 kits ready for Kentuck in mid October and then another 30 kits ready for SAFF at the end of October. I'm not so concerned about having FOs for SAFF, but I think the kits will be a big hit. One kit and one knitted cap have been listed on Etsy. I like that Etsy serves as a laboratory for what works and what doesn't. Well, it is time to spin.....

Layer Cake Caps at WhorlingTides



Layer Cake Caps are the newest item to be added to my Etsy shop. I really enjoyed putting together all the fibers last night. And then it only took 2 - 3 hours to knit it together. I guess the hardest part was weaving in so many ends that were created when changing yarns so many times. In addition to offering the knitted caps as FOs, I'm also going to post them as kits for people to knit themselves. I hope they have as much fun as I did!!
