Crochet Cap for Baby with Neck Warmer for Beginners

 

Hello friends,

Here is a very simple baby cap specially made for beginners. 

This cap is for 6-9 month with circumference of head 13.5"-14". But once you learn the technique, you can make it in any size. Just measure the circumference of head and done. I used Vardhamaan Magnus yarn and 3.5 mm hook. It's weight is 80 gm.

If your yarn is baby yarn which is thin, you may have to start with more chs. Magnus is thick yarn.

Make chs till the length of the circumference + 11 chs+ 11 chs for neck belt. For larger size, you may add 2x12 or 2x13 for belts. For elders 2x14 or 2x15.

I have to make chs 81 for 13.5"-14" length +22 chs.

R1: From second ch make hdc 1 in back bump of each ch.

R2: ch1, turn, hdc 1 in back loop of each st,

R3 to R7: same as R2. Lastly BO.

On RS join yarn in 12th st. Also place marker at 12 th st from other end.

R8: ch 1, hdc 1 in back loop of each st till the marker (skip last 11 sts)

These are 58 sts.

R9 to R25: same as R8.

Finally length of the extended middle part is 13.5" and it's height is half of the circumference   i.e. 7".

Now fold the top edge and sew to become half. Belt, you may fold in different ways as per your choice or comfort and sew buttons to that.

Lastly we make dark pink colored border. Join dark pink at first st.

Lower Border: ch1, sc1 in same st, skip 2 sts, (dc 7 in next st, skip 2 sts, sc 1 in next, skip 2 sts) rep till end.

Side Border: Here we don't have sts. So make 3 scs in 2 rows along the side.
