These fashion doll caps are for both Ken and Barbie. Both are basically the same, except that Ken’s is slightly larger than Barbie’s. Both can be worked up in a jiffy and are suitable for beginners. The only thing that might be tricky for beginners is the fact that it’s such a small project. It can be awkward to hold onto, but with some practice, it’s really quite easy.
Make this Barbie baseball cap to go with other sporty clothes and watch as your children play make-believe ball with their favorite dolls. Or, make them to go with a plain t-shirt and jeans outfit. Either way, your children are sure to enjoy these caps.
The Stitches
To make this crochet Barbie hat, the only stitches you need to know are single, half, and double crochets! It is worked in rounds with the single crochet until you get to the brim, where you work a single row of half and double crochets to shape the brim.
Recommended Yarn
I used Bernat Satin, a medium #4 worsted weight acrylic yarn. But any yarn in similar weight should work. I liked the satin because of the shine, but it’s totally your call.
The pattern is a great stashbuster, allowing you to use up the smallest amounts of yarn scraps. So why not make a bunch in a variety of colors to match all your doll’s outfits. It would be the perfect stocking stuffer, not only for your children, but for their friends as well!
And because they are so cost effective and quick to make, they would also be perfect for selling at flea markets!

This is adorable! I was able to whip one up for my hubby’s niece in a matter of minutes. I did slightly modify my approach to the pattern (I began with a magic circle, ch 1, and then jumped right in with 6 sc into the circle), but otherwise I followed your pattern. :) It was very easy to understand. Thank you so very much for sharing this with all of us. :)
