You’ll Need:
250g of Gioia 80 Dertagna Filati yarn (100% merino wool; 80m/50g) in beige color (#1103);
Crochet hook 4;
Knitting needles 3;
Scissors;
Stitch markers;
Plastic visor;
Button with 3 cm diameter.
Size:
58-59 cm.
Instructions
Make 4 chain sts and circle them in the ring with slip st. Make 2 chain sts increase and make 7 half double crochets in the ring.
There are 3 sts on the crochet hook. Catch the working yarn and draw it through all sts on the crochet hook at once. Continue work with half double crochets according to the scheme.Bottom
For making the bottom with gussets, make increases by making 2 crochets out of 1 crochet at equal intervals (8 increases in each gusset). When the diameter of the circle is 27 cm, start making decreases symmetrically to the increases. When the diameter of the inner circle is 18-19 cm, work with single crochets for 5 cm more.
Cast on sts with circular knitting needles and make a stripe of 3 cm height with stockinette stitch. Fold the stripe to the wrong side and bind off sts.
Visor
The visor consists of two details sewn together. For this, make a chain (the quantity of sts is 1/3 of sts of the last row) and start working with single crochets for the visor. For rounding, make decreases by making knit2tog at the beginning and end of every row. Make the second detail in the same way. Sew both details along the outer edge. Insert the plastic visor.
Assembly
Sew the visor to the cap. Make a rectangle with stockinette stitch according to the size of the button. Insert the button into the rectangle and sew.
Sew the button in the center of the cap.
