Hello everyone! I have a really beautiful and easy cap pattern for you all. Even if you are new to crochet, this cap is relatively easy to make. It uses several stitch techniques but the pattern is very straight forward. You will need to know how to crochet the front post and back post double crochet – if you are not familiar with these stitches, I highly recommend watching tutorials on YouTube first.

While I know it’s summer in other parts of the world, it is now well and truly winter here in the land Down Under and I’ve been crocheting beanies for my kids like a mad woman! I do love the cold weather though.

I am extremely pleased with how this cap turned out and I love the texture. This cap looks great on both boys and girls – I made one for my little boy without the buttons and I made one for myself in olive green.

Here is the free pattern. Hope you enjoy!

You will need:

5mm crochet hook
1 x 8 ply acrylic yarn, colour of your choice (I used 1 100g, 271m ball of yarn and I had plenty leftover)
Scissors
Yarn needle
2 x round buttons
