Sleeping cap
The other week, Jess @Jessicalynnt asked if I’d ever made a sleeping cap, well until that moment I hadn’t although I had seen them around, but never thought of making one.
Well after looking at a few patterns, I decided I would make one to the pattern I like. As I was making it, it didn’t seem right but continued anyways. Once finished and sewn up, I tried it on and although it fitted, it was kinda tight. Part of the shaping wasn’t right, in the pattern they shaped to sharp. It would be ok for a young teens head but not for an adult.
Well, I decided I liked the way it was but needed to do some changes and did the shaping different, which turned out great and I’m pleased with how it’s turned out. The hat/cap is 30 inches in length and just right for the cold winter nights. Now I have a new product in my store thanks to Jess for mentioning it to me.
Do you wear a sleeping cap?

I don't wear one, but I would love to make one. Does it take you long to make this one?

That one is about 30 inches in length and took me about 6 or so hours, depending on how fast you can knit.

@kevin1877uk Cyprus is fine and a pleasant escape from the British winter.
As for being in the UK, I was home for 2 weeks between Tenerife and Cyprus. I have no idea where people get the absurd idea that I travel regular. I have only had 2 holidays all year.

Are sleeping hats supposed to keep your head warm? Or how come its so long. I never used one :) I'm curious of the purpose. The color is lovely!
