Ranger 2/75

Back in 2010 I blogged about a friend's grandson, Tyler, who was in the Airborne and heading to Afghanistan. Since then, his younger brother, Brent, also joined the Airborne and I made him a cap as well.  Now, Brent has gone on to be a part of the Ranger Regiment, so a request was made that I make another cap/helmet liner and I was happy to do so:

THE DETAILS

Pattern:  My own
1x1 ribbing, stocking stitch crown, fairisle lettering.

Colors #815 black and #809 red

 

Needles: US 7 / 4.5 mm

It's knitted twice around the cap.
