It is not necessary to buy a stylish baseball cap for a boy. You can crochet it yourself. To create a cap with a soft or hard visor, you will need about 100 grams of yarn, a crochet hook, threads and a needle.
How to knit a boy's cap with a hard visor
In addition to yarn and a crochet hook, knitting a baseball cap with a hard visor will require a plastic bottle and a special paper pattern. So, first you need to knit the bottom of the baseball cap. Cast on one circle with single crochets. After you reach the desired diameter, start adding loops. If the circumference of the head is 56 centimeters, the height of the cap should be 17 centimeters.
In the next step, you should knit another row with a single crochet. This is necessary to strengthen the border. Then you can start making the visor. In order to give it the desired shape, take a paper template and attach it to a plastic bottle. Trace around the template with a pencil and cut out carefully.
After that, you need to dial eighteen air loops and add three lifting loops. Then work the first row of double crochets. Turn the product and knit further with a single crochet. In the next row, you need to make one single crochet and tie a connecting loop. After that, turn the workpiece again and start knitting the next row from the connecting loop. Then knit the visor cover only with crochets. At the end, be sure to make another connecting loop. Insert the template cut from the bottle into the resulting blank. Then sew around the edge of the visor and sew it to the cap itself. The resulting baseball cap is perfect for a 7-8 year old boy.
Baseball cap for a boy with a soft visor
Any cap consists of a visor, a rim and a base. You should start with knitting the base. Cast on six stitches first and knit twelve crochet stitches without increment. As a result, you will get a circle, the volume of which should correspond to the volume of the head. Then you need to knit the product without increments until you reach the desired base depth.
As for the visor, then it should be tied separately and attached to the main product with single crochet posts. Then add three more stitches and knit the last row with single crochet loops. The next step is to tie the bottom of the product with single crochets. For additional decor, you can tie a headband and attach it to the cap. To do this, cast on 78 stitches and work six rounds with single crochets. Place the resulting strip over the visor and secure it with inconspicuous stitches and a large button.
