Alpaca Watch Cap - Marled Sage

3sixteen knits its FW26 watch caps from the same alpaca and cotton yarn running through this season's sweaters, which keeps the caps in conversation with the knitwear and puts a marled sage on the head that sits easily next to the rest of it. Marled yarn gets its depth from twisting two different colors together before knitting, so the sage shifts between lighter and darker across the surface rather than sitting flat. The structure is a half-cardigan rib, a variation that tucks a stitch on alternate rows to build more loft into the fabric than a standard rib carries, along with the kind of stretch that pulls on easily and the recovery to snap back instead of going slack by February. Length is the detail worth knowing about. 3sixteen cut these long enough to work either way, so a single fold leaves the cap sitting deeper on the head and a double cuff pulls it up shallow, with the choice left to whoever is wearing it. Alpaca handles the warmth at 73% of the blend, and cotton keeps the hand breathable and easy against the forehead.
