The Men’s Golf Cap Crochet Pattern
The Men’s Golf Cap Crochet Pattern is modern and unique. It’s perfect for the man in your life as a birthday or father’s day gift. I’ve already made one for my husband Jonathan as you can see in these photos, he has now asked me to make him another one in blue and I’m fully planning on making one for my dad for Father’s Day as well!
The inspiration for this pattern came from my husband. Jonathan looks great in hats, like the Cabled Beanie, and yes I realize I might be just a little bit biased, but I knew I wanted to make him something he can wear in the spring and summer.
The construction of this hat is a bit different, which is why I’ve included plenty of photos to help you along each step. Once you get the hang of it though, it’s breeze to make! I really enjoy making this hat, so much so that I even made toddler sizes for my two sons (pattern coming soon)! I love making things for my boys and knew you would all love it too, since the Jonathan Beanie has been my most popular pattern yet!
I used cotton yarn, to keep the hats cool and breathable for the warm summer months, and they give the hats nice definition!
I wanted something quick and unique to make as part of the Summer Blog Hop! If you haven’t heard, I have joined 11 other talented crochet designers to come together and give you 12 awesome FREE crochet patterns to give you plenty of projects to work on this summer!
