The Jackson Cap is crocheted in the round from the top down, working front-post double crochet stitches to create a ribbed texture. There are 4 sizes, to fit people of all ages. This pattern includes 2 pages of photo tutorials, showing exactly where to put the hook for each of the stitches. A great hat project for beginning crocheters.
