Men's Fast and Easy Cap

This is a fast and easy crochet pattern for a mens hat. So seldom do we get patterns for mens accessories and especially rare is to be able to get a free one. Many thanks to the designer for sharing this with us. The colors are beautiful. I had no problem accessing the pattern. The only issue I had were the pop up ads that annoy.

Easy Peasy Hat! I also learned two new stitches with the dc 'cross-stitch' and the reverse sc. I had to look up the reverse sc, which was easy online. I have already made two of the hats ane will probably make more this winter. Another inch added to the pattern would help warm the ears when needed but would roll up if not needed. Pic of my first hat attached. It has a bump on the top because my Magic Circle (which is not part of the pattern) decided to act up and no lie straight.

When I click on crochet pattern, I never see the pattern. See only edible pattern.

With the help of some wonderful people on Ravelry I have found the answer to my problem. For anyone else who wants to try this cap, Row 16 seems to have been written for left handers. It will work for right handers if you just do the stitch in the usual direction(towards the left rather than the right). There is a tutorial for how to do this in two different ways here: http://crochet.about.com/library/blcrosseddc.htm Margaret.

I found the body of the cap to be "easy", but it wasn't easy to do the double crochet backwards! Is this a regular stitch? I looked for tutorials but couldn't find any with any names I could think of describing it. Mine doesn't look like the one in the pic. I didn't have any trouble with the crab stitch though. By the say, craftown do not feature this cap under free patterns Hats. :(

@Frances P, To view the full pattern for this project, please click on the link that says "click here for crochet pattern." A new window will open up, and perhaps a pop-up ad, as well. First, please click the white "close" link in the top right hand corner to close the pop-up ad if it appears. Then, you will find yourself at the original designer's website (craftown.com), and the pattern will be right there, in full, on the site. Hope this helps! --Editor of AllFreeCrochet

It doesn't work, I've tried several times. It goes away and then comes back. I tried to print the pattern and when it was finished printing, it had the nextog hat commercial on top of the pattern. It just won't go away. Thanks, Pat

Hi dinorah1951 6267108, The Craft Town pop-up is easy to close. Just click the white "close" link in the top right hand corner and the pattern will be underneath it. Thanks! -Editors of AllFreeCrochet
