This funky cap features an open stitch pattern at the crown, rounds of clusters and crossed clusters making up the sides, a wide band and thick brim. There is a little extra height giving this design a bit of slouch and extra street cred :-)
My pattern includes instructions for you to make seven sizes:
Baby 1 to 3 months 15"
Baby 3 to 6 months 16"
Baby 6 to 9 months 17"
Baby 9 to 12 months 18"
Toddler 1 to 3 years 19"
Kid 4 to 12 years 20"
Teen/Ladies 21"
All my patterns are written in American crochet terminology and in English. This pattern is rated "Intermediate" and is not suitable for beginners. A variety of stitches and stitch patterns are used including crossed stitches which may take a little while to master. I have included two pages of photos and instructions to help you with the crossed stitches as well as a short video.
You will require worsted weight (USA = Medium/4, UK = Aran, AUS = 10ply) yarn and a size 5 mm (US H) crochet hook. Samples were made using 100% cotton yarn Lily Sugar and Cream. I do not recommend soft, acrylic or luxury yarns for this design as they do not make good stiff brims (no wire is used in this design).
All my patterns (including the photos used on Etsy) are copyrighted. You may not copy, resell or redistribute my pattern. You may make and sell as many hats as you like. If selling on Etsy a link back to my pattern is always appreciated :-)
Thank you
