The Johnny Reb military style cap is a unisex crochet hat with a small bill inspired by the hats worn by Confederate soldiers in the American civil war. Though the real Johnny Rebs wore grey caps, you can crochet this cap in any color you fancy.

Double crochet post stitches worked around stitches of the previous round create an interesting knit-like texture and make the finished fabric more flexible than regular crochet stitches.

You will need 3 x 50g skein of 8 ply, DK or light worsted wool and size 4.5mm crochet hook. This DIY hat project will help clear your stash so you will have more room for new yarns.
