General information about the pattern
Kachkereta cap is knitted bottom up, starting from the ribbed edge. The rest of the cap is completed in stockinette stitch. After knitting the crown and top, the visor is knitted separately. The visor is double-sided, and both of its sides are reinforced with fusible interfacing on the wrong side and then the folded visor is sewn to the cap. The final steps include inserting the elastic band in the ribbed edge and sewing a decorative button.

Colorwork
You will notice that the blue and yellow variations of Kachkereta cap are a bit different concerning the color order. The blue cap has the visor knitted in pink, while the yellow cap has the visor made in the main color. Apart from that, contrasting lines of the two caps also differ – the pink lines of the blue cap are between two sections of ribbed stitch but in the case of the yellow cap, the contrasting black lines are done on the ribbed sections themselves. Naturally, you can choose the variation you like best.
Instructions in further text are given for the blue and pink variation. If you opt for the yellow and black combination, knit the contrasting (black) stripes on ribbed sections, and work all other sections in main color (yellow).
