Faux cable cap

What a treat to knit something quick and lovely for a friend.  This chemo cap comes from this pattern, which I found on Ravelry (do you know Ravelry?  It's like Facebook for knitting geeks.  I wish they had one for sewers).  It's knit from Classic Elite's Inca Alpaca in blue dusk and I'm hoping it will be absorbent and itch-free for its wearer.  I made the whole thing en route to my parents' last weekend and while lounging during the kids' naptime - maybe 5 hours on the needles.  The faux cable is satisfying and easy.  I added 10 stitches to my cast-on to accommodate the thinner yarn I chose, and knit until I was out of yarn so that I'd have the tallest cap possible to cover the whole hairline.
