First published over 2 years ago, I updated my June-Bug Cap pattern to include more sizes, and be an overall better pattern.
The June-Bug Cap is perfect for wearing outside on sunny days, especially if- like me- you have a lot of hair you want to tuck out of your face (wearing my hair all under this cap is my favorite).
The full PDF pattern with 3 sizes can be found in my Ravelry shop, linked here:
Below are the written instructions for the size medium. Happy Crocheting!
PATTERN NOTES:
Yarn/Yardage- Sample was crocheted in Knit Picks Dishie, a 100% cotton yarn (190 yards per 100 grams), in the Silver colorway. Any cotton will do.
Gauge- 4 stitches per inch in double crochet.
Hook- H/5mm, or size needed to obtain gauge.
Sizing- This is the size Medium. Finished size measures approximately 18 inches in circumference.
Notions: Scissors, yarn needle, clip marker or safety pin to mark the beginning of round.
Notes:
-Cap is made with continuous rounds, therefore requires a marker of some kind to mark the beginning and end of each round. Move marker up each and every round after you work marked stitch to ensure your beginning of round does not change.
-Instructions in [brackets] are to be repeated all the way around
