A test Monmouth cap to be exact. Plenty of mistakes in it but I want to plunk it on the head of it's eventual wearer to see how it fits before I start working on the real thing and unravel the test. Lots of good stuff learned in the process: casting on, knitting in the round, using double pointed needles, 2 kinds of reducing, and I-cord.
It was FUN, and went relatively quickly ... hmmm ... it may be a very cappy Christmas...

In other words, it depends on the wool, the gauge of the knitting, the way you full it.
10 - 25% I suspect, if you do it gently and keep an eye on it.
