Blossom Cap

Sharing is caring!

FREE Cap Crochet Pattern.

This cap is designed to fit an extra small head. However, if you need a larger size, you can always experiment with a thicker yarn and larger hook size.

The cap shown here is crocheted in a cotton material, which makes it perfect for the summer. It’s great for keeping the sun out of the eyes without being too hot.

And, if you like, you can omit the brim and wear it as a super cool beanie. In that case, you could try crocheting it in an acrylic material for a cozy winter hat.

Check out the tutorial for the Blossom Stitch.
