A continuous tubular piece is made in a continuous knit fashion. A limited area, located an equal distance from the two ends of the piece, is knit with a tighter stitch to provide a gathered area. Two similar tighter stitched, gathered areas are provided between the central gathered area and each of the ends of the piece. These two additional gathered areas on both sides of the central area are relatively spaced closer together than their spacing from the central area and the ends of the tubular piece. The tubular piece is folded back on itself using the central gathered area as a fold line, the two opposite ends being brought together. The two additional gathered areas, which were on opposite sides of the central area, are now together, one overlapping the other. A second fold is now made in the piece. The piece is folded back on itself a second time using a point midway between the two additional gathered areas as the fold line. This second fold line is a closed, smooth surface. In contrast, the opposite end of the now folded piece exposes various layers of the folded piece and that end is closed with a standard four-way closure to provide the crown for the finished cap. The gathered portion adjacent the open end of the cap provides a fold line for forming the cuff of a conventional hockey cap or openings are provided between that fold line and the closed crown of the cap to form a crusader hood with the gathered portion providing a tightly fitting area under the chin of the wearer.
