NOTES:
This pattern is very easy to modify for larger or smaller heads. Simply add or subtract fsc in multiples of 6.
You want this to be a snug fit due to the fact that alpaca doesn’t hold its shape as well as wool. If it’s a little loose when you first put it on, it’ll be around your neck in no time.
