unless a fluffy type of yarn is used.

Charles Cap Pattern (crocheted liner for baseball caps) ~ Crochet Head Hugger
Designed by: Ro Cafaro
http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/cpatt06.htm
Materials:
Cap is made using Lion Heart microfiber yarn, or sport weight baby yarn and an I hook.
Yarn must be thin so as not to bunch up under the baseball cap. Pattern may be worked
with an H hook to make a smaller liner.
Directions:
Round 1: Chain 4, join, 11 dc in the ring.
Note: All following stitches are worked in front loop only so there is no seam on
the inside of the hat; the seam is on the outside and touches the baseball cap and
not the skin.
Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc's in each stitch around, join in top of first ch 3 with a
sl st.
Round 3: Chain 3, dc in same st, *dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc,* repeat from * around
from until you get to the last stitch. 2 dc's in last stitch, join to top of first ch 3.
Round 4: Chain 3, dc in same st, *dc in next 2 stitches, 2 dc in next st * Repeat around
until last stitch. 2 dc's in last stitch, join to top of first chain 3.
Round 5: Chain 3, dc in same st, *dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st* repeat around until
last stitch. 2 dc in last stitch, join in top of chain 3.
Round 6: Chain 3, dc in same st, *dc in next 4 stitches, 2 dc's in next st* repeat around
until last st, 2 dc's in last st, join in top of first chain 3.
Rounds 7-8: Chain 3, dc in each st around, join.
Round 9: Chain 2, *dc in next 2 sts, dc decrease* repeat around, join in top of first chain
3.
Round 10: Chain 2, *dc in next 3 sts, dc decrease* repeat around, join in top of chain 3.
Round 11: Chain 2, *dc in next 4 dc's, dc decrease* repeat around, join in top of chain
3.
Round 12: Loosely sc in each st around to form band to hold liner to head. Hat should
not slide around but shouldn't be so tight that it is uncomfortable. Sl. st in last two sts,
finish off, weave in ends.
(If larger liner is desired, add an additional row of dc between rounds 8 and 9. If
tighter/longer brim is necessary to hold hat to head, add another row of sc after round
12.)

The 'No-Hair-Day' Hairy Chemo Cap ~ Knit Head Hugger
Designed by: Sue W. Thompson
http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/kpatt10.htm
This pattern is basically just straight knitting with decreasing rows at the top...and the
hat is worn purl side out. However, the yarn is such that probably any snug-fitting hat
design would do. The other thing I like about this hat is that it can be made in real hair
colors or in fun bright colors like red and purple.
Size: Women's small (21 inches), medium (22 inches), and large (23 inches)
Materials:
50G FIZZ yarn, 1 (2, 2) skeins
Size 9 (5.5mm) circular knitting needle, plus set of size 9 double pointed knitting
Needles... or size needed to obtain gauge
Gauge: 12 stitches and 16 rows = 4"
Directions:
Cast on 60 (66, 72) stitches. Join, being careful not to twist. Knit around until hat
measures 6" (6.5", 7") from beginning.
Decrease rounds:
Round 1: *Knit 8 (9, 10), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Rounds 2, 4, 6, and 8: Knit.
Round 3: *Knit 7 (8, 9), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 5: *Knit 6 (7, 8), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 7: *Knit 5 (6, 7), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 9: *Knit 4 (5, 6), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 10: *Knit 3 (4, 5), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 11: *Knit 2 (3, 4), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 12: *Knit 1 (2, 3), k2tog;* repeat from * to end of round.
Round 13:
For small hat: k2tog around.
For medium sized hat: knit 1, k2tog around.
For large hat: knit 2, k2tog around.
(For medium and large sized hats, continue decreasing until knitting 2tog around.)
Cut the yarn leaving a 10" tail. Thread yarn through the remaining stitches. Fasten off
on the knit side of the hat. Turn hat so that the purl side is on the outside.
