Easy Colorwork Cap

I just learned Cascade 220 has color names along with numbers for each shade. I've always used just the numbers in patterns but Yarn Country gives both numbers and names for Cascade 220 HERE.

This Easy Colorwork Cap (from the Stranded Color Knitting booklet) was knit in various colors of Cascade 220. I'm trying to use up all the pink I have in my stash but I guess I didn't do such a great job of that. The main color in this hat is called Blue Velvet.




I like it worn sideways as a jester hat. Seen here it is actually floppier than usual because it was still wet from blocking during the photo shoot.
