    Men's Cabled Golf Cap

    Published: Jun 7, 2013 · Modified: Sep 30, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · 142 Comments

    A while ago I debuted the Big Boy's Cabled Golf Cap as a free crochet pattern. And within the hour I had a bunch of requests for upsizing! I played around with different hooks and yarn weights, tried adding and subtracting rows, and now I finally have the details ready on how to make the Men's Cabled Golf Cap, sized for a 23" inch head - standard men's size. Of course, women can wear this hat too - and if the brim is a little too big, try making the last couple brim rows with more tension or a smaller hook.

      I need help. I've made this twice now & both hats are too small for even my head much less my dad's. I used a 6 hook first time and second time I did a 6.5 & still to small. Any advice? Should possibly increase a few rounds?

        Sounds like you've got a much tighter gauge - or it might be a different yarn. Adding a few rounds, or not decreasing as much, would definitely help.

      After row 14 I had a large gap in the slip stitch area. Is that right or did I mess up somewhere? I love this pattern, by the way. It'll be a great gift for my dad.

      At the end of the round when I finished with my slip stitch, I ended up with a large gap (from "skipped/leftover" stitches). If I continued with the pattern (*Fpdc in the next st, skip next st, fpdc in the next st, dc2tog, fpdc in next st, dc2tog, fpdc in next st, skip next st. Repeat from *) I ended up with more than 72 stitches 🙁
      Where did I mess up?

        Ah, the sl st at the end, I didn't think of that one. Hm, I'm wondering if you are crocheting in the sts behind the post sts? The ones you made the post st around? It's so hard to "diagnose" these things online.

      So I love this pattern, it's very simple but I'm having an issue. My circle is curling in the wrong way. From the picture, the cables are on the outside, my circle is curling so that the cables are on the inside...any suggestions?

        This is normal with cables - as you work the hat down towards the brim you just turn in right side out. Some blocking will also help. Another thing you can do is to make sure to pull the loops of your post stitches up nice and tall before the last yo and pull through that finishes them off. 🙂

        Hi Laura! It's the same just in a different order. After working the fpdc around the post, go behind the just made fpdc to work the dc right into the top of that same stitch. Does that help?

        Sure! I'll try anyway. 🙂 The dc is worked into the stitch just as you normally would. Then, the fpdc is worked around the post of that same stitch. The top V of the post stitch will be a little to the left of the dc stitch. Does that help?

        I think the easiest thing would be to bump up a hook size or use a thicker yarn - or just use a larger hook size for the brim portion! There are decreases before the brim as well, so eliminating some of the decreases would work too.

      Hi. I've tried making this with 2 different wools that match the definition of worsted weight and even using a 8mm needle, and following your pattern exactly, it isn't coming up the right size. Not sure what to do but even using a chunky knit 4ply wool it is not crocheting up. Guess UK wool is not going to fit the bill. :/

            complete muppet here. Didn't remember that you have different names for your stitches in the USA . Your dc is our treble and single is our DC and so on. Have now saved a converter so can enjoy your patterns without stressing ... My husband loved the hat (once finally and correctly crocheted) and my daughter has the other version 🙂

        Hi Clare, I have only made this hat tonight and it worked up perfectly. I used a chunky yarn and a 6mm hook. I would normally use a 7mm hook for chunky but because the yarn was heavier than worsted weight I went down a hook size to compensate. Hope this helps.

            I can try to add a photo in a while. But basically instead of skipping the top of the stitch like you normally would when working a post stitch, you also work into the top for the dc st.

              I did as instructed and I came up with WAY more than 48 stitches ... I had 68. I've pulled this out and done round 4 three times now and I've got the same issue.

              I reworked it with the thought process that two posts will have coverage and one will end up being skipped ... I ended up with the correct st count. Yay!

      I was so happy to run across this pattern from you! I've made many of your designs and love them all. This one was particularly satisfying because I am working on making "cool" hats for the cancer center where my dad is getting his treatments. I wanted to make something other than just boring old beanies, and I could find lots for women, but very few quick and fun ones for men. Thanks again for another fabulous pattern!!!

        Hi Liza! It sounds like you've got a couple extra increases in there. There should only be 12 sts added in that row. I'm afraid it's hard to say where they're popping up though without being there.

      In the round 11-13 section, it says to "Ch 2, fpdc in the 1st st, dc in the next st, fpdc in the next st, dc in the next 2 sts, fpdc in the next st, dc in the next 2 sts, fpdc in the next st, dc in the next st" After the last fpdc it says to dc in the next stitch when there are two stitches. I know that you meant to dc in the next 2 stitches, but it can be confusing so just letting you know.

      This and all of your other patterns I've tried are really great 🙂 Thanks for all of them.

        Hi Connie, sorry to hear you're having trouble! I'll try to break it down.
        In Round 3 you end with 36 sts. We're going to increase by 12 for Round 4, so that means you're going to increase by one stitch for every 3 sts. So as you begin Rnd 4, look at the first 3 sts of Rnd 3. In the first one, work a fpdc. In the next one, work both a dc and a fpdc. In the 3rd one, work a dc. Now begin again with the next set of 3 sts - fpdc in the first one, dc and fpdc in the next one, dc in the last one. Continue like that on around. Does that help?

        I am doing that right now for my husband. I am using 2 strands together and a smaller hook size. It seems to be working well, but I am only half way through so I will try to remember to comment when it is finished. Right now I am using a size H hook and the Aunt Lydia's classic size 10 thread. Hope you can do it too and thank you soooo much Geoff and Tamara for your efforts and commitment.

      Hello, im trying to make this cap for a christmas present but im not sure which post belongs to each stich, is the post of a stich the one befor the actual stiche, so, to the right? Also, my cap appears to be much more loose, holes seem big compared to the one on your husband which seems a much tighter crochet but mine measures the same at round 5 as you said it should, im using Aran yarn. Any help and advice would be greatly received, wish you had a vidoe for this project like you have for the 60 minute slippers which I have made and added too successfully. Sandra, UK.

        Hi Sandra! If you are right handed, it will be slightly to the right of the top V that you normally work into. Different yarns have a different "halo" so if your yarn is smoother it may make it look looser even at the same gauge.

      Hi Tamara!
      Thank you so much for all of your free patterns, they're amazing and really fun/challenging!! I'm running into a problem though, that I can't rectify. I'm confused about round 11; I'm working it with the mindset of the 10 stitches being repeated 12 times to get the 120 stitches for the entire round, but there seem to be open stitches from the previous round at the end of my 2nd set of 10. I'll try to give you a visual: Looking at the overall pattern of the hat, it seems like there are 3 prominent posts with a fan-like space of stitches separating them. It looks like the start of round 11 is in between the 1st and 2nd of 3 of the prominent posts that I mentioned, but that allowed me to work the 10 stitches correctly. Since the 2nd set of 10 stitches incorporates all 3 of the prominent posts, the 10 stitches end in the middle of the fan-like shape instead of reaching all the way to the next set of prominent posts.
      Would you be able to tell me what it is that I'm doing incorrectly from my description? I would appreciate your help very much! Thank you again for sharing your talent with all of us!

      Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern. I'm a beginner with just 3 months or so experience. I'm determined to do this right so please forgive this basic question which comes after my 5th attempt to go from rows 3 and 4. I've watched your videos and am satisfied I'm doing the fpdc stitches correctly. What I need to know is: when there is a [dc,fpdc] in the same stitch does the dc go in the top of the stitch under the V or in the same large hole as the post stitch? Thank you. 🙂

        hello ronson! congrats on learning to crochet - you are very ambitious to jump into a cabled pattern already, well done! the answer is, you dc under both loops of the indicated st like a normal stitch, then fpdc around the post of the very same stitch.

      So I probally should have picked an easier first hat but I loved the pattern. So the problem is mine looks like a mushroom and I'm not sure where I went wrong. It was the same 5in in the beginning and I counted every row stitches and those were correct. So I'm going to try it again but any hints might help. Oh I used j hook and lions brand fisherman wool worsted weight.

      Thank you

        Hi Kelly! This is indeed probably my most complicated pattern! By mushroom, I'm guessing it's too pointy on top? This might be helped by blocking!

          Well i should have define mushroom better thinking about it I'd have to go with shower cap.. The hat is not flat. It round and kind of wavy on the sides I tried blocking but just can't get it to lay flat, and look like yours.

            Aha, okay! Have you started the decreases at all?

              we'll it was wavy before and just became more pronounced when I did the decreases. I can't remember when it stopped being flat I just kept going figuring it would flatten out when I was done.

              It sounds like you might benefit from a bigger hook. 🙂

      I absolutely love this hat. I made a similar one watching a youtube video, and came across your pattern. Its the first time I've done anything with cables. I am using RED HEART yarn, worsted weight "4", and the project is curling A LOT! I am on row 11 and cannot flatten it out. I haven't gotten to the gauge yet.

      Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

        Hi Marion! Lots of blocking and maybe a bigger hook? It should have a little bit of stiffness to retain shape - when you start the decreases, it will pull in at the bottom for that golf cap shaping.

          Ok, thank you. I also had the stitches tight, so that may have been an issue. I'll try loosening the tension and a bigger hook.

      I have frogged row 6 nine times now and cannot come up with 72 sts. I double checked that I had 60 sts at the end of row 5; I just can't get it and I'm ready to quit!

      Every 5 stitches should have one increase, correct? Which would equal 72 but no matter how I do it, I come up with 80+

      I really want to make this for my husband for our anniversary because he always wore these hats when we met.

      Please help!

        Hi Katrina! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble!
        You are correct - every 5 sts should have an increase. I would recommend putting a stitch marker in the 3rd st, and then every 5th st after that around - for a total of 12 stitch markers. These will mark the stitches where you increase, and should help keep you on track! I hope it helps!

      I'm curious how you would scale up the size of the hat. I'm thinking about making this for Dad for Christmas but his hat size is extra large.

        I would go up a hook size, or use a slightly thicker yarn. 🙂

      Hi, I really love this pattern, it's such a beautiful design. I want to make it for my husband for Christmas, and have started. My question is he has slightly larger head 24" head, so this being 23" would be too tight. What do you suggest I do and have it look uniform still? If I had a round, which round should a duplicate?
      I any help from you on this! 🙂

        Hi Elizabeth! Thank you! I would either go up one hook size, or reduce the number of decreases in Rnd 14. 🙂

      Hello Tamara! I love your pattern but I have a question please. My gauge is good; after round 5 my piece measured approximately 5 inches. But at the end of round 10, it measured 12 inches. Is this correct? It seems rather large to me? I know there is a decrease round upcoming, but I was just wondering, as I have made hats in the round before. :). Many thanks! Judith

        Hi Judith! It does pull in quite a bit, and folds under, so as long as your gauge hasn't changed it should be okay! 🙂 It's been so long I'm afraid I don't have the hat to hand to re-measure.

      Good day Tamara! Have a quick question in reference to making a smaller size. I see someone mentioned omitting a round for a smaller head but if I get a 4" or so measurement (Gauge: 5″ across after Round 5) would that mean the hat will be 22" vs the 23"?

      Aiming for 22" for my dad's head. Thanks so much!!

        Losing a full inch only 5 rounds in worries me that the hat will be too small. Perhaps somewhere in between?

      maybe do the omitting rounds 12 & 13 would be better?
      I’ll make it the way you instructed, since my tension tends to be tight and see how that works out. Then if anything maybe, removing a row or two will help if it’s too big. 🤔

      I love your patterns btw.

      Thanks!

        That, or just adding a tighter round at the end before moving to the brim!
