Sprite Cap Crochet Pattern
Sprite Cap Crochet Pattern
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a physical hat. This is the instructions for crocheting a Sprite Cap. Do not purchase this if you are wanting a finished product. I cannot accept returns on digital items.
The Sprite Cap was the fourth crochet pattern I released back in September of 2022. If you use the suggested yarn, this hat is the perfect whimsical spring/summertime hat. This pattern includes step by step instructions to make a hat that fits the average adult sized head (22.5in); however, there are suggestions throughout the pattern (I call them checkpoints) on how to alter it to fit a variety of sizes. This pattern also includes 28 images to guide you in completing the project and a gallery of my wonderful testers with notes on their head measurements, the yarn they used for their products, and the adjustments they made to the pattern to get their desired fits.

Very good references and included measurements at different stages to help with gauging size. Really helpful since my head was larger than the pattern is written for and I crochet with a really tight gauge. Only critique is that I would randomly stagger the increases so you don't have to mess with trying to get it to look round and not hexagonal when wiring the brim. So do them evenly for that row but maybe say for row 10 do 2sc the then as written except last row minus 2sc. And row 18 do 5sc do as written except minus 5 from last row. I do that a lot in stuffed animal crocheting.
I wanted one for myself and ended up doing two for my daughters. I added little floral embroidery so now I have two elves at home :)
