If you love crochet and want to try your hand at creating a stylish accessory, a mesh skull cap is the perfect project for you. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the steps to create a colorful and versatile skull cap using basic crochet techniques. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn crochet or an experienced crafter wanting to expand your skills, this tutorial is for you.

1. Introduction

Crocheting is a relaxing and creative hobby that allows you to make unique and personalized items. This tutorial will focus on creating a mesh skull cap using just cotton yarn, a crochet hook, and a few basic tools. The skull cap is designed to provide a pop of color and is perfect for the summertime.

2. Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

• Just cotton yarn (preferably in different colors)
• 7.5 millimeter crochet hook
• Measuring tape
• Pair of scissors
• Yarn needle

3. Starting the Hat

To start the skull cap, you have the option to either create a magic circle or chain four. If you're comfortable with the magic circle technique, it is recommended as it provides easier handling during the initial rounds. However, if you prefer working with a chain, you can start with a chain of four.

4. Round 1: Creating the Base of the Hat

In round 1, you will be creating the base of the hat. Start by chaining four, which will count as a double crochet and a chain one space. Follow this by double crocheting and chaining one in a repeated pattern. The goal is to have a total of ten double crochets and a chain one at the end of the round.

5. Round 2: Increasing the Size of the Hat

To increase the size of the hat, chain four again (which counts as a double crochet and a chain one). Continue with a double crochet, chain one, double crochet in the same space. This round is an increase round, so the goal is to have a total of twenty double crochets by the end.

6. Round 3: Adding More Double Crochets

In round 3, you will be adding more double crochets to increase the size of the hat further. Start by chaining four (counts as a double crochet and a chain one), then follow with a double crochet, chain one, double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around to complete the round.

7. Round 4: Continuing to Increase the Size

To continue increasing the size of the hat, chain four (counts as a double crochet and a chain one). Next, double crochet, chain one, double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern all the way around. By the end of this round, you should have a larger hat.

8. Rounds 5-7: Adding Single Crochets

For the next three rounds, we will be adding single crochets. Begin by chaining one and doing a single crochet in the same stitch. Continue by single crocheting in the chain one space and the double crochet from the previous round. Repeat this pattern around, and by the end of round 7, you will have a well-defined mesh hat.

9. Finishing Touches

To finish off the hat, weave in any loose ends and make any necessary adjustments to the size or length. The three rounds of single crochet should provide a good fit, but feel free to add more rows if desired. Once you're satisfied with the length, your mesh skull cap is ready to be showcased and worn.
