This cap was designed by Cindi Slatton and was added to this site with her permission on 10 Feb 01.  She adapted this pattern from the one that I previously made.  These work up really fast and are great for Charity!
Materials:
Red Heart Baby Sport
Size "H" hook

Ch 6, join with sl st

Round 1:  Ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, 2 hdc in each ch around.  (12 hdc)

Round 2:  Ch 2, hdc in same st as joing, 2 hdc in each hdc around, join  (24 hdc)

Round 3:  Ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, *hdc in next 2 hdc, 2 hdc in next hdc* around, join.

Round 4:  Ch 2, hdc in same st as joing,  *hdc in next 3 hadc, 2 hdc in next hdc* around. join.

Rounds 5-11: Ch 2, hdc in each hdc around. Join.

Round 12: In front loops only, ch 1, sc in same st as joining, and in each hdc around, join.

Rounds 13-15: In both loops, sc in each sc around.

For a boys cap: Fasten off and weave in all ends

For a Girls Cap: **ch 3, sc in next sc** around. Turn up brim when finished.

Here are a couple of alternatives for a girls brim that Cindi came up with:

1.  After doing 2 rounds of the sc's join as usual. ch 2, hdc in same st.* skip next st,  hdc, dc in next st* repeat around.
2.  OR do 3 rounds of sc's, join. next round, ch 1, sc, hdc, sc in joining stitch. *sk next st, sc, hdc, sc in next st* repeat around.
