boys and men, i'm about to shave my head for an art project and am looking for a nice cap pattern to help keep my head warm until the hair grows back in. any suggestions for a nice, interesting, but not too complicated pattern? i definitely want to try out some fun stitching, perhaps traveling cables or something.

thanks,
jesse

This is my favorite skull

This is my favorite skull cap pattern. The pattern as shown is a little bit longer than a skull cap, but if you reduce the part from beginning to crown from 9" to 7", i.e. one pattern repeat, it becomes the perfect skull cap. I've made 4 or 5 of these. You have to scroll down about halfway down the page to get to the pattern.

I really like this short-row hat from leethal.com - http://www.leethal.net/patterns/shortrows.html. I've made around 20 of these from both wool and cotton. I'm wearing a red cotton one right now!

If you're at all interested

If you're at all interested in doing some great, easy to follow color-work (Fair Isle style)...Asplund has a great free pattern he's recently put up on Ravelry that I'm currently making and loving.
