SUZIE’S VISOR CAP (C)
Thank you Jo NY for testing this pattern.
The visor is just one example of Jo's work.
MATERIALS:
About 2 oz of worsted weight yarn
Foam visor (Michaels, Wal-Mart, JoAnn Fabrics)
H/5.0 mm crochet hook
C/2.5 mm crochet hook
1/8 inch hole punch
Yarn needle
SIZE: Woman’s Average
NOTES:
1. Read through instructions completely before beginning pattern.
2. I used a narrow tape measure to mark the places for the holes. I placed them about 1/4 inch from the upper edge of the visor. See the photo.
3. When using the C hook, pull your stitches up slightly, you need to be able to get your H hook through them on the next round.
4. Always pull your slipstitches tight, you want them to nearly disappear.
5. To work dc dec, *yo, insert hook in st, yo, draw loop through, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook, repeat from * in next st, yo and draw through 3 loops on hook.
6. To work sc dec, Insert hook in next st, draw up a lp, (two loops on hook), insert hook in next st, draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo and draw through all 3 loops.
7. Cap/visor may be worn with or without the coil in place.
8. Cap will look funky until it is on, but you will be stylin’.

Oh no! Another wonderful pattern! I can't stop making the Lotsa Beads hats and now I am "hooked" on these visor caps! You are just awesome!!! Thank you for the wonderful patterns and helping my addiction to crochet! Crochet Hugs!
I love this hat pattern. I went out and bought a visor just to make it. I was wondering if it could be made with worsted weight cotton yarn. Such as Peaches and Cream. I sweat the most on top and back of my head due to meds that I'm on. Thank-you again for such great patterns.

I think it will be fine in the Peaches and Creme. I have the supplies to try that, but just haven't gotten around to it.
Let us know how it works out for you. Maybe you would like to join us on:

Visors are available at Wal-Mart, JoAnn Fabric and Craft, Michaels and probably other craft stores.
Regular price is about $1, they are often on sale for around 70 cents.

Thank you! I just did some searching online, and I'm going to go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and see if I can find the visors there. Can't wait now to try your pattern!
I just got these visors to try to crochet myself! Then I am clicking and find this Fantastic site! Dollar General has these for a package of 3!
