Crochet Baby Cap with Spiral Braids

 

Hello friends,

Since so many days I have a dream of making such cap which I had seen on Instagram (and I liked it). Here I made it and I think that It's very cute. Hope that your small baby will like it.

Yarn 4 ply Vardhman Magnus, a thick yarn compair to Vardhman Millenium, hook 3.5 mm. Height of the cap is 6.7", Circumference 16" and it's weight is 82 gm. It fits for 12 month to 15 month baby.

PATTERN: R1: In a magic loop make dc 15, cl (15)

(First dc is always ch3)

R2: dc2 in each st, cl (30)

R3: (dc1 in 2 sts, dc2 next) 10 times, cl (40)

R4: (dc1 in 3 sts, dc2 next) 10 times, cl (50)

R5: (dc1 in 9 sts, dc2 next) 5 times, cl (55).

R6: (dc1 in 10 sts, dc2 next) 5 times, cl (60)

Here I measure circumference which is 16" so ne need to increase further. Because my yarn is thick in 6 rounds only I have circumference 16", if your yarn is Millenium or thin they for 16" you may have to work 2-3 rounds more with 5 sts increase in each.

R7: dc1 in each st, cl (60)

Repeat rounf 7 till the height is 6.5" to 6.7".

Last round: ch1, sc1 in each st, cl (60)

Spiral Braid: Make chs 30+1.

R1: From second ch, (sc1, hdc2, dc1) in second st, (dc3) in each of the next chs till end, with 6-7 inches yarn end cut the yarn.

Make such 2 spirals.

Sew these two spirals at the 4th round as shown in video.

Then make two bows with Millenium red yarn.

R: In a magic loop make (ch5, db tr 5, ch5, sl st in loop) 2 times, BO with 7-8 inch yarn end.

Wrap the yarn at centre and tie it on the top of spiral.

The beautiful Baby Cap is ready.
