Blossom Stitch Crochet Cap

February 10, 2017 · Rhelena · 1 Comment

This crochet cap is crocheted in a cotton material, which makes it perfect for spring, summer and fall weather. 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. Another option would be to try some stripes to clean up some odds and ends.

Either way, it is a great gift idea for anyone who likes to wear hats during the warm weather.

How it’s Made

This crochet cap pattern is started at the top of the head and worked down. It is worked in rounds and fastened off before the brim. The yarn is then attached and worked in rows using single crochet stitches.

Then as a final touch, you simply crochet all the way around the brim and the edge of the hat to bring it together.

The stitch pattern for the body is known as the Crochet Blossom Stitch.

The Size

The size is given in one size only; to fit a teen/adult small. However, you can easily increase the diameter as needed to get the size to where you want it. The only thing to keep in mind is you need to end up with the correct stitch multiple for the blossom stitch, which is a multiple of 4.

Refer to this Crochet Hat Size Chart by Age if you’re unsure of how big to make the diameter.

Once the diameter is the size you need, the body is easy. Simply follow the pattern as instructed until you have the height that you wnat.

The brim is the only tricky part. But with a bit of trial and error you can get that to the size you need as well. I don’t have an exact formula on how to calculate the brim, but I’ll break down what I did and hopefully that will give you an idea of how to go about it.

There are 88 stitches in the last round of the hat.

For the first row of the brim I skipped 32 stitches from where I fastened off before I joined my yarn for the brim. Then I worked into 24 stitches for the brim and had 32 stitches left on the other side of the hat. 32+24+32=88.

In order to keep the brim looking the same, regardless the size, is to keep the above numbers in a similar ratio.

So if you add an additional 4 stitches to the body of the hat for a total of 92 stitches. You could try going with the following numbers: 33+26+33=92

Tip: Try placing stitch markers along the edge of the hat to make it easy to see where the next stitch goes when you do the brim.

The Yarn

I used a #3 mercerized cotton yarn. It is no longer available, but other cottons in that yarn weight should work just as well.
