Star Stitch Cap Part 1

Hi, everyone today I will tell you “how to make crochet cap with simple crochet stitches?”

Let’s start,

1.       Make a circle:  First of all make five chains and then with the help of first chain make a slip stitch. A circle is formed.

2.       Double Crochet Stitch: The first step is completed now in second step you have to make 15 double crochet with the help of hole which act as centre. First you have to make a single chain and then start making 12 double crochet stitches and at the end make a slip stitch to complete the circle.

3.       In next step first of all male a single chain and then you have to increase the size of the cap by making 2 double crochet designs in each chain of first design. The total of double crochet in this step is 30. And after making 30 double crochet stitches make a slip stitch to complete the circle.

4.       In this step make a first chain and then you still have to increase the cap size by making one double crochet in first chain of 3^rd row design and then in next chain make 2 double crochet. Repeat this step to complete the circle and in last make a slip stitch. You will notice that in this step you had made 45 double crochet stitches.

5.       In this step make a first chain and then repeat the 4^th step to complete the circle but there is slight difference in 5^th step that is you have to make 2 single double crochet in next 2 chains and then make 2 double crochet in next chain. It means after making a single chain you have to make 4 double crochet in next 3 chains. And then repeat this process (make double crochet in 4^th chain and again make double crochet in 5^th  chain and in 6^th chain make 2 double crochet) and in the end make slip stitch with the help of 1^st double crochet of 5^th step. The total number of double crochet is 60.

6.       In this step again start with making a first chain and then start increasing the size of cap by making 3 single double crochet in each 3 chains and in 4^th chain make 2 double crochet. Repeat this process to complete a circle at the end you will notice you have made 75 double crochet. Don’t forget to make a slip stitch at the end of a design to complete the circle.

7.       Star stitch: Make 3 chains and then make star stitch design in previous post I told you “how to make a star stitch design?” Repeat that step here to complete a circle and at the end make a slip stitch.

8.       In this step make 2 half crochet in each eye of design to complete the star design. The total number of star design is 38.

Note: If you think the cap size is small or tight then increases the size in 8^th step by making 3 half double crochet instead of 2.

9.       Repeat 7 and 8 step to make 9 and 10 row of circle.

10.   Repeat 9 and 10 row star stitches to complete 16 rows. But if you increases the size of cap, then in 12^th step and in further step also you have to make a star design without increasing the size of cap. It means you are making only 2 half double crochet instead of 3.

The next step I will discuss with you in next post. I hope all the above steps are clearly understandable to all of you.
