Crochet Baby Cap

Fig 1

Hello friends,
Next week I have to go to my friend's home for the name ceremony( we call this ceremony as Baras) of her grand son. I decide to make a quick jacket and cap as winter will be arriving in a month.

For the cap I chose traditional design with only puff stitch border and a mix colour pom-pom at the top.

So on the last Saturday, I started it. I used here Oswal Winter Special yarn. It was little bit thick so helps to save the time.

R 1: Magic loop of 8 dcs.
R 2: (2 dc in each st) repeat
R 3: (2 dc in one st, 1 dc in next st) repeat
R 4: (2 dc in one st, 2 dc in next st) repeat

The work was just shaping as a cap. (Fig 3)
R 5: (2 dc in one st, 3 dc in next st) repeat
R 6: (2 dc in one st, 4 dc in next st) repeat
R 7: (2 dc in one st, 5 dc in next st) repeat
R 8: (2 dc in one st, 6 dc in next st) repeat


Once I checked that circumference was 16" then I made R 9 to R 16 as dc on each st. (Fig 4)

 Once again check the size. Circumference 16" and height 7". See fig 5 and 6.

Finally the contrast colour yarn was joint and puffs were made and connected to the st, skipping 2 stitches, by slip st.
See fig 7 and 8.

I know that this is not a new pattern, rather it is old and traditional pattern but I like it's shape and hence I made it. Only it's border is new and I am going to make one simple and cute jacket matching this cap. That also I have to finish quickly because naming ceremony is waiting for me. Probably that will be my next post.

Happy crocheting.
