This pattern is available on Ravelry.

This simple cap is a great place to start when building out your full family wardrobe! Hansmire comfortably hugs your head in an elastic 1x1 rib, finishing with a crown that’s both playful and polished. Knit one up in Imbue Sport’s worsted-spun melty Merino wool or Tones Light’s woolen-spun Columbia for a cozy staple that can be worn as a slouchy beanie or watchcap.
