This fun little cap is my first design in Crochet 1-2-3 the new crochet magazine available by subscription and in Walmart stores.

As I’ve said before, hats are one of my favorite projects to work on for quick gifts. This simple hat is crocheted crown down and uses post stitches to create the 8 little cable ridges that meet up with the ribbed brim.  The pattern is available in 4 sizes, so you’ll be sure to find one to fit a child in your circle of gift giving.

There is one error in the pattern. For Sizes 12 months (4 years) only, Round 9 (10): the instructions between the brackets [ ] should only be repeated 4 times, not 8.
