Phrygian Caps for the Occupiers.

Phrygia (a part of what is now Turkey) is sometimes associated with Troy. Mithras and Attis are sometimes shown wearing Phrygian caps. Wiki says that the Phrygian cap is a “soft conical cap with the top pulled forward,” that became associated with the “the pileus, the [conical] felt cap of manumitted (emancipated) slaves of ancient Rome.” During the French and American Revolutions, the Phrygian cap became a symbol of freedom from tyranny. And, of course, my own beloved Goddess and genius loci, Columbia, is often shown wearing a Phrygian cap (sometimes called a Liberty cap). When I decided a few weeks ago to knit caps for people at Occupy DC, I began casting about for a pattern for a Phrygian cap. Using size 10 needles, cast on 108 stitches. K1, k2 tog, k2 tog, knit to last 5 stitches. *P1, P2 tog, P2 tog. Knit 1 inch in stockinette stitch, ending with a pearl row. Cut yarn, thread through a needle, and pull the yarn through the remaining stitches.

It is a little bulky and the corners may drag on the floor were you'll step on them. So we will want to cut the corners off, now the simplest way to do that is to make it a . . . Semi-circular cloaks If take a semi-circle and divide te strait edge in half, then place the edges side by each with the center point at the vertex, you will make a cone. One problem you will always have with semi-circular cloaks is they will not stay on the shoulders. Three-quarter-circle cloaks Now this is a cloak to make that will stay on the shoulders, with or without a pin. Though this will use almost as much fabric as a full circle cloak, and you may want to go the extra effort to do that instead.
