Fisherman’s Cap
This versatile pattern comes in multiple sizes, so you can create hats for every member of
your family. Plus, with a helpful video tutorial included for the 6-12 month size, you'll have
the guidance you need to make any size. With its classic design and comfortable style,
this crochet hat is perfect for any occasion, from fishing trips to everyday wear.
I used Brava Tweed yarn by We Crochet for this hat pattern. It has a lovely texture and
warmth, ideal for colder weather. Plus, it's easy to care for and comes in a variety of
colours to match your preferences, making it both functional and stylish.

Gauge
A gauge swatch is vital for a well-fitting crochet hat. It determines stitch tension and
measures the number of stitches and rows. Comparing it to the pattern's gauge
ensures the final hat fits as desired. Adjust hook or tension if needed for a perfectly
fitting hat.

Notes
This pattern is that it also comes with a video tutorial. This means that you can
follow along step-by-step and have all your questions answered in real-time.
Whether you're struggling to understand a particular stitch or just want to see how it
should look, the video tutorial is a fantastic resource to have. You can pause, rewind, and
re-watch as many times as you need to make sure you're doing everything correctly.
The Fisherman Cap crochet hat pattern is designed to have a shorter length, in keeping
with the classic style of a traditional Fisherman's cap. However, if you prefer a longer hat,
it's easy to modify the pattern to suit your preferences.
Simply add more rounds before changing to the 6.00 mm hook size and finishing the final
rounds of the hat. This flexibility allows you to create a hat that is tailored to your specific
style and comfort.
