It's not.

El niño se puso la gorra. = The child put on the cap.

Gorra is feminine, so is the article la.

El niño = the child, el and niño are masculine

se puso = he put on

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Thanks, I'm only a student. :) So if I rephrase the sentence, is it " El nino se lo puso?" - Angel_Lina, Oct 2, 2010
No, gorra is feminine, so it's El niño se la puso. The la has to match gorra. - KevinB, Oct 2, 2010

"La" is feminine, not masculine.
