Easy Crochet caps

I found a pattern that is actually easy enough for me, as I am learning, to make some crochet caps. It is from Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Pipe Wheat Hat, pattern #L0491E.  I can put one together in about an hour. Here are some of my first caps. The little baby one still needs a pompom. But isn't it cute? I just did'nt want to waste the last of the yarn. But will buy more to finish a pompom and make another little cap.

Here is what they look like on my head. The green was my first and it is not made with the thick and chunky weight of yarn the pattern calls for. It is too big for me.

The grey is with the proper yarn but I made it 3 inches shorter, and I love how it turned out. With luck I can get several made for donating at the cancer center. I will just need to find a thick and chunky yarn that has no wool in it.

I'm just tickled I finally found a pattern I could figure out. I tried this type of hat a couple years ago, but had no success so I made the chemo caps from cotton, sewed on the machine. The type that the doctors wear. They are a little more time consuming, but nice caps as well.

Now that I can do these, and especially for winter caps,  I can put them together much faster. I am working on an off-white one though, that I hope to give to my granddaughter along with one of those large shawls you wear over your neck. My next project to try.

What are you working on? Know of any more simple beginner patterns, please let me know. I'm all for easy. I'm just riding out the cold days and waiting for the snow to hit.
