I didn't make this cap, but find it inspirational.
"Syrian Muslim prayer caps of crocheted silk, worked in a variety of geometric patterns, are famous all over the Near East. They are made as a domestic craft, and are sold by male pedlars in all of Syria's souks. Since crochet requires only yarn and a hook, which can be made of wood, metal, bone or plastic, it can be easily carried around and worked on at the maker's convenience."
