This crocheted cap is a good stash buster as it uses the equivalent of a skein or so of worsted or three quarters of a skein of bulky yarn.

The pattern is good for a beginner who wants to work a simple, quick project in the round. The stitches used are single and double crochet, chain stitch and slip stitch.

The cap is worked from the top down and suggestions are given for adjusting the hat size and customizing the snugness of the brim.
