Abstract
The present invention generally provides a cover for a cap or hat, such as a baseball cap having a six-panel crown. The cover for such a cap would include six corresponding panels and a top opening to receive the top button of the cap crown. An embodiment of the cover could include a single congruous panel to cover cap crowns as well as an alternative design. For a cap with a closure, a pair of loops located along an opening of the cap closure corresponding with an opening near the closure of the cap are designed to allow the straps to thread through the loops, securing the cap cover around the entirety of the crown.
