Acadia Cap

Introducing our beautifully designed cap, available in 6 sizes, featuring an exquisite decorative braid on the band and a cozy, warm double-layer headband. The unique spiral shaping on the crown adds an artistic flair to your knitting projects. The braided detail is effortlessly knitted as part of the hat—no need for turning to pick up stitches, simplifying your crafting experience.

This stunning woven braid evokes memories of the robust rope on the deck of the ship Princess of Acadia, a vessel I fondly recall traveling on numerous times between St. John, New Brunswick, and Digby, Nova Scotia. With its rich textures and nautical inspiration, this pattern offers not only style but also a touch of nostalgia.

Complete the look with our Fingerless Acadia Mitts, available in adult sizes M and L as a separate pattern. These mitts complement the cap perfectly, creating a charming winter ensemble for those chilly days.

For this delightful cap, you'll need worsted weight wool, with approximately (136, 149, 166, 178, 186, 203) yards required depending on the size you choose. The main color should comprise just over half of your total yarn, while the contrasting color will be a bit less than half. For optimal results, we recommend using high-quality yarns like Cascade 220 Heathers, which is 100% wool, featuring 220 yards per skein (100g) or I Love This Wool Naturals, which also provides 220 yards but is 113g in weight.

Embrace the joy of creating with this lovely knitted cap pattern that combines creativity, warmth, and a connection to maritime heritage. Start your knitting journey today and enjoy the process of crafting your very own Acadia Cap!
