Easy knitted cap pattern

I have been knitting over the holidays. A little, some light knitting that I don’t have to think to hard about. Looks like I’ve got a red theme going… Some house slippers… Easy pattern here Going to knit another pair for a girlfriend in the hospital. It has been cloudy and cold here, a little snow falling. So we have been watching some movies. I knitted an easy cap while watching Star Trek, (picked out by Steve) and Julie & Julia.   (for me).  This allows for a lot of knitting and spinning.
