Product Details
In the movie “Vertigo" Kim Novak's character throws herself into the bay under the bridge at Fort Point. This watchcap uses two-color garter stitch and short rows to mimic the spans of the Golden Gate Bridge at the top of the cap. Stitches are then picked up and elongated slipped stitches are used to create choppy waves around the sides. The body of the cap is worked sideways, and the ribbing along the lower edge reminds me of the masonry fortification where our damsel takes her plunge. A pop of color by way of a fabric-covered button-band adds drama and fun, while supporting the clear, water-like buttons that close the sides.
