Mercury Men's Cycling Cap is recommended for advanced knitters who are experienced with sewing and crocheting. This 8-page pattern is written in men's sizes small, medium, and large. This the perfect cap for avid cyclists and active people. It's a soft, durable, and fits into a small bag or a back pocket.
This pattern features pictorial instructions for special techniques:
• short row
• overhand stitch (sewing)
• mattress stitch(sewing)
• reverse crochet border (crab stitch)
• crochet welts
I recommend two DK cotton yarns: Mirasol "Cotanani" (60 cotton/40 merino) and "Ti'ka" (100% Pima cotton). The cotton doesn't pill and it's very soft even after numerous washings, so it's perfect for kids. On a sweaty day cotton wicks moisture away from your head. The finished cycling cap should be hand washed only.
The short visor uses a sewn-in felt support, which adds durability and structure to this cap. This pattern includes visor templates in three sizes.
Mercury's ribbed center strap provides a firm a snug fit. but it's roomy and stretchy so it won't mess your hair. The center strap tapers gently towards the back.

I crochet and am trying to crochet a cycling cap. This hat seems perfect compared to the others I have found, but this is knitted...is there any way you can translate the pattern into a crocheting pattern? Or if you knew of a similar hat that is crocheted...Thanks
