Saltire Skull Cap?

Does anyone know if anyone makes a Saltire skull cap?

Sport Kilt sells tartan ones.
Ask them, they might start.

To make on would be easy. EITHER:
-Duplicate one and decorate as desired.
-Take a blue or white one and mod as desired.

Not sure how much use to you this is:

This is a Buff headover that can be turned into a natty bunnet

available quite widley in Scotland, postage shouldn't be too much

Been looking for a pattern for sewing a skull cap/head wrap from scratch... if I can find one it shouldn't be too tough to mod it to become a saltire pattern!

(Ah yes, ever the optimist, I am!)

What is a "skull cap"? Yarmulke (Kipa)? (If so ill conceived due to the observation that the Saltire is a cross)

Pretty much the same design, but not the same origin. In "common" use, it's even beginning to be interchangeable with "do-rag" or "head wrap," to the point where it includes versions that are not symmetrical and have a tail (see below and note the URL).

Skull caps for me have always been like bandanas but I don't know if that is what he is looking for. If it is try a motorcycle shop that sells Harley like bikes you might get lucky

Those are bandannas or kerchiefs and hardly caps. Be them the garb of American slaves, pirates or the trouping colours of self-styled inner-city ganstas they are, I think, by no measures "skull caps" (the style of badhnāti excludes them also of being ħijābim or turbans).
