Work DC increases in each round until the diameter of the circle matches the required cap width based on the size chart.

Crocheting the Body

Once the desired crown width is achieved, stop increasing.
Work straight rounds of DC stitches into each stitch from the previous round.
Follow the instructions to change between two colors to create the striped pattern.
Continue working until the cap reaches the desired length.

Creating the Ribbed Brim

Switch to Front Post and Back Post stitch pattern for the brim.
Continue alternating these stitches in the last few rounds until the brim reaches the desired thickness.
Cut the yarn and weave in the end.
