Can you hear the waves crashing and feel the sand between your toes?
But you feel like the sun is stopping you from enjoying summer fun. That
shouldn’t be the case. As a crocheter, you have this great opportunity to
create your own sun-protective shield—a Sun Hat. Use any material of your
choice, such as aluminum or wooden crochet hooks,
to make your crafting process even more fulfilling. We have compiled a few
beautiful summer hat crochet patterns just for you, keeping your unique needs
in mind. Just follow us along.
Summer Hat Crochet Patterns
All these patterns mentioned below are great for beginners' practice
to get a good hold on crochet
hooks and stitch patterns.
Granny Square Bucket Hat
The most versatile and simplest crochet
pattern is the granny square. With a couple of stitches, such as single and
double crochet stitches or their variants, like half double or double crochet,
you can crochet beautiful squares in many different designs. You can try
sunflowers, daisies, or even simple colorwork. If you like a subtle look, then
go for simple, solid patterns. And since this hat is meant for summer, go for
washable and breathable yarn.
Sea Shell Floppy Crochet Hat for Coastal Charm
Imagine yourself strolling alongside the beach, the gentle breeze
rustling through your hair and a beautiful floppy hat casting a cool shadow
over your face. This hat is the epitome
of summer style. Get your favorite shade in lightweight, breathable yarn like
cotton or raffia, along with your single ended crochet
hook, and incorporate seashell crochet stitch, which will evoke the
coastal feeling. You can even add cute seashell embellishments or a contrasting
band of color around the crown for an extra pop of personality.
Invest in the natural beige cotton yarn, which goes well with most
summer beach dresses, for a crochet pattern that will transport you to an
island getaway with pristine beaches and beautiful seas.
Large Brimmed Straw Hat
The wide-brimmed hat is a timeless summer staple. It provides maximum
sun protection. Patterns for large-brimmed hats often use a stiffer yarn like
raffia or paper straw to create a structured brim. You can find patterns with
flat, floppy, or even brims that turn up slightly at the edges. You can use a
combination of crochet stitches or just follow one single stitch type,
whichever you like. For a whole new and unique look, go for Tunisian crochet hooks.
By only doing a simple forward pass and return pass process, you will get a
textured, unique look. Opt for a lightweight yarn like cotton, linen, or raffia
to ensure your hat is breathable and comfortable in hot weather. Light and
bright colors will reflect sunlight and keep you cooler.
Bonus Tips:
●
Line the inside of the crown with a lightweight
fabric for added comfort.
●

days.
