Introducing the beautifully crafted Irish Driving Cap, also popularly known as a Flat Cap, Scally Cap, Ivy Cap, or Sixpence. This unique knitting pattern features intricate mini-cables that adorn both the side panels and the center of the top, adding an elegant touch to this classic design. The cap boasts a double brim that is self-supporting, eliminating the need for cardboard, which enhances its durability and gives it a polished finish.

This pattern is perfect for the adventurous knitter seeking a rewarding challenge. With detailed instructions and techniques to master, you'll enjoy the process of creating your very own stunning cap.

NEW! Now included for download is an extensive 21-page tutorial featuring 84 color photographs, which provides detailed notations for knitting the Inishmore Cap. This alternative design uses the same construction method as the Dublin variant but omits the mini-cables for a more streamlined look.

This Irish Driving Cap is a stylish variation of my previous Inishmore Cap design. By incorporating unique mini-cables into the side panels and top, this pattern elevates the traditional cap to a new level of sophistication.

One of the standout features of this cap is its brim, which derives its structural integrity from the recommended cast-on technique, tight gauge, shaping methods, and specific instructions to keep the wraps in place unless otherwise noted. Experience the joy of knitting as you create a beautiful accessory that is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe!
