This cap was designed by Cindi Slatton and was added to this site with her permission on 10 Feb 01. She adapted this pattern from the one that I previously made. These work up really fast and are great for Charity!

Materials:

Red Heart Baby

Ch 6, join with sl st

Round 1: Ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, 2 hdc in each ch around. (12 hdc)

Round 2: Ch 2, hdc in same st as joing, 2 hdc in each hdc around, join (24 hdc)

Round 3: Ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, *hdc in next 2 hdc, 2 hdc in next hdc* around, join.

Round 4: Ch 2, hdc in same st as joing, *hdc in next 3 hadc, 2 hdc in next hdc* around. join.

Rounds 5-11: Ch 2, hdc in each hdc around. Join.

Round 12: In front loops only, ch 1, sc in same st as joining, and in each hdc around, join

Rounds 13-15: In both loops, sc in each sc around.

For a boys cap: Fasten off and weave in all ends

a Girls Cap: **ch 3, sc in next sc** around. Turn up brim when finished.

Here are a couple of alternatives for a girls brim that Cindi came up with:

1. After doing 2 rounds of the sc's join as usual. ch 2, hdc in same st.* skip next st, hdc, dc in next st* repeat around.

2. OR do 3 rounds of sc's, join. next round, ch 1, sc, hdc, sc in joining stitch. *sk next st, sc, hdc, sc in next st* repeat around.
