Woolen Cap

There is a woman called Sarah. She works at the post office and she loves to knit woolen caps. When I walk around the village, I often come across people wearing her caps.

Sarah's caps have uniformity in the way it is knitted, the shape and design. Many people want their names sewn onto the caps. From children to adults there are many users of her caps.

I also had a cap knitted for my nephew (my sister's eldest son). His name in English alphabet (Rishun) as well as in Inuit language was sewn onto the cap.

She made this parker by herself. According to her a pullover type is warmer than a front zipper type, as it is more effective to keep the body temperature warm.
