About the cap Leyla

Leyla Rolled Visor Cap is a chic headpiece which will get you noticed in the street. Its unconventional design and shape allow you to experiment with the embelishments and details which will make your version of the hat one of a kind. So, don’t be afraid to put your creativity to a test and weave in a personal touch into this piece of accessory.

I decided to name this headwear Leyla, since it used to be my nickname when I was a child. However, there are 3 other reasons for choosing this title. Firstly, the name Leyla (also Layla, Lailah, Leylah, Laila, Leila) comes from the ancient Semitic word layl, meaning “night”, so this is a name often given to babies born at night. In Persian culture, the name Layla is associated with beauty and can mean “dark-haired beauty” or “dark beauty.” Although I’m not dark-skinned, I do have very dark hair, eyes and eyebrows, so the meaning of the word somehow seemed really suitable. Secondly, in some interpretations of the Talmud, the Jewish holy book, Lailah is the name of an angel. What better choice can there be than picking such an epithet for any product of beauty and charm? And finally, being a popular name for girls in both western and eastern cultures, Leyla was inspiration to many authors, poets, songwriters, to whom it often sympolized grace, elegance and eternal love of a woman carrying this powerful appellation.

General information about the pattern

The hat is crocheted top down in one piece, by holding 1 strand of super bulky (woll/acrylic blend) yarn, or 2 strands of sport (cotton) yarn together. The whole cap is completed in half double crochet stitches. After completing the top and crown, both of which are crocheted in the rounds, the visor is crocheted with turns. Several rows of the visor are done using a hdc stitch in 3rd loop. See this video tutorial on how to do hdc in 3rd loop.
