A reader asked me for an explanation of the cap.

I remember that they are models of the Sublime, which produces beautiful wool, (merino-cashmere and silk blend) and that this moment is in a very covenient offer HERE:

“VINTAGE RACING HELMET” is the name of the cap and comes from the booklet of models n 606 (you can also find these on the site)

Measurements

0/3 months 3/6 6712 1/2 years

Ears are worked first

With 3,25 rows and color + dark assemble 5 sts, work 2 rows in garter st, passing the first st without working it.

On the next row, pass the first st, work the next st 2 times, straight until the last 2 sts, work 2 sts on the first st, straight on the last st.

work 6 more rows in this way, making increases on the 2nd, 4th, 6th row = 13 sts on row.
