Free Swim Cap Pattern for Kids and Adults

If you or your kids go to a pool, you need a swim cap. Sew your own to match your bathing suit with this free sewing pattern for kids and adults in 4 sizes! This is also a great way to practice sewing bathing suit material if it is new to you. The swim cap is easy to cut out and sew because the pieces are simple shapes and don’t have lots of layers and bulk to sew over like with bathing suits.
