Bubble Wrap Cap
Published December 22, 2006 by CabledSheep
I was so excited about Lark’s Bubble Wrap Cap, that I just couldn’t wait to make it. I’m not sure why it appealed to me so much - maybe because it just seemed so “fun”. It seemed like the kind of hat that would make you want to go out and play in the snow. I didn’t think that I had any yarn in my stash that would work (I wanted to use a variegated yarn), but then I remembered the DK-weight Cheyenne Interlacements merino wool I had left over from another project. It was already divided into two balls, and I figured that if I used two strands together, it would be close enough to the right gauge. I was worried not sure if there would be enough yarn for the hat, but I had a feeling that it would work out. And it did! Now I have two hats that I really like, so I’m ready to face the winter. Brrrrr. Well, almost.
Since this pattern is so stretchy, the hat will fit a good range of head sizes. I kept thinking about making one not just for myself, but for friends and family, too. And for charity knitting. I was envisioning Bubble Wrap Caps all over the globe. People everywhere united by the sisterhood of Bubble Wrap. Young, old, rich, poor. Wouldn’t that be a beautiful thing? Bubbleheads of the world unite!

Great idea!! That’s a good start to taking over the world (in the right way). You do look great in hats! Enjoy your weekend and have a very Merry Christmas.
Fabulous! Love the colors you chose. It looks very nice on you! I’m dying to make for myself too, and I live in in FL! Don’t laugh.
You reaaly do look great in hats!
You are such a great hat model. Thanks so much for the good endorsement for the pattern, and for the idea about Bubble Wrap Caps encircling the globe. I think it will be my charity cap of choice for a while. I DO love snowglobes too, and wearing the Bubble Wrap Cap you look like you could be in one, as you said, playing in the snow. Merry Christmas and Happy ‘Capping!
Blue skies,

I can’t decide which of your two new hats I like best. They’re both wonderful.
Did you follow the bubble wrap hat pattern as written? I’m about to start the decreases And it seems a quite sudden decrease.
I followed the bubble wrap cap pattern just as written. Yes, it’s a sudden decrease, but it worked out fine.
