DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: Easy. Some experience with dpns helpful.

BEGIN CAP:

Instructions are for all three caps. Cast on 106 stitches, divide stitches evenly and place on 4 dpns. Join yarn to form circle being careful not to twist stitches. Work a K2, P2 ribbing for 3 inches. Then knit all rounds for 4 more inches.
NEXT ROUND: Decrease 2 stitches evenly spaced around (104 sts)
NEXT Round: Knit all stitches around

BEGIN DECREASING FOR TOP OF CAP:

ROUND 1: *Knit 13, K2tog. Place marker to indicate decrease. Repeat from * round.
ROUND 2: Knit all stitches around.
ROUND 3: *Knit to marker, K2tog. Repeat from * around.
ROUND 4: Repeat Round 2.
Repeat Rounds 3 and 4 until 6 stitches remain.

FINISHING:

Cut yarn leaving a 10 inch tail. Thread yarn tail into tapestry needle. Sew thru remaining 6 stitches; pull yarn tightly and tie off. Weave in yarn ends.

I-CORD TOP ON SOXIE'S CAP: OPTIONAL

When you have the 6 sts remaining, DO NOT CUT YARN. Instead; using 2 dpns, put remaining 6 stitches on one dpn.
Knit I-Cord: With free dpn, knit those 6 stitches; slide those 6 sts to beg of needle and work sts from same position. Bring yarn around from back and rep from * until I-cord is approx. 2-1/2 inches long or desired length to tie into a knot. Bind off and knot as shown. Weave in yarn.
