ABSTRACT:
A free-size cap is disclosed. In the free-size cap of this invention, the gores of the crown are made of double-knit weft knitted fabrics having a weft directional elongation higher than 50%. The crown thus has a high ventilation effect, a high flexibility, a desired tightness, and allows a user to feel comfortable while wearing the cap. The free-size cap is also designed in that one reference-sized cap is commonly and freely usable by users having head sizes different from each other within a difference of about 12 cm. The free-size cap of this invention is further provided with a sweat band made of an elastic woven fabric having both a weft directional elongation higher than 65% and an elastic recovery higher than 95%, thus almost completely overcoming the problem of a row elastic recovery derived from the crown made of such weft knitted fabrics. The elastic woven fabric of the sweat band is manufactured by weaving latex-covered yarns as wefts and non-stretchable yarns as warps. In the present invention, double pile weft knitted fabrics may be used as the double-knit weft knitted fabric of the gores. In addition, the double-knit weft knitted fabric of the gores may be manufactured using polyurethane-covered yarns as wefts.
