Gauge
The gauge will vary depending on the yarn and hook you use. For the piece in the photo, I used a size G hook for each cap, but the number of stitches you’ll need depends on the measurements you take (see below).
Instructions
Using the tape measure, measure from the top of your head to just above your eyebrows and write the number next to “A” below. Now measure the circumference of your head, being sure to go over your ears, and write the number next to “B” below.
A: _________
B: _________
The pattern below reflects the measurements (in parentheses) I used to create the hat in the photo.
Pattern Stitch

Row 1 (RS): Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, when you reach the end sc around the ponytail elastic (this does not count as a stitch) turn.
Row 2: Ch 2, hdc in FL of each st across, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in BL of each st across, when you reach the end sc around the ponytail elastic (this does not count as a stitch), turn.
Rep rows 2–3 until length of piece = measurement B (23”/58.5cm to match sample) being sure to end with a Row 2. Fasten off leaving a long tail.
