🧢 How To Make This Summer Hat (Step-by-Step):
-
Start with the Crown:
Work in spirals, evenly increasing each round. Stop when the flat circle reaches the width of the top of your head. -
Build the Side Walls:
Crochet without increasing. This forms the bucket shape that drops down naturally. -
Shape the Brim:
Add increases again to flare out slightly and give sun protection. Keep it firm by stitching tightly or switching to a smaller hook. -
Adjust Size Easily:
Use fewer rounds for children or more for adults. Cotton yarn ensures breathability and shape retention. -
Style Options:
Leave it plain, or add embroidery, lace edge, or ribbon to personalize.
