Is This Crochet Sun Hat Easy To Make?
The Summer Sun Hat Crochet Pattern is an easy-level project manageable for everyone with a good understanding of basic crochet techniques. It’s worked in spiral rounds, so stitch markers will definitely come in handy to help you keep track of the finished rounds. You will also practice crocheting with raffia yarn.
The crown and brim are created with single crochet stitches, and the edging uses double crochet clusters, resulting in evenly spaced holes.
What Sizes Are Included In The Pattern?
The pattern provides directions for three women’s hat sizes: S, M and L. The smallest size has a 19.55″ hat circumference and will make a perfect fit for teens and women with smaller heads. The sample visible in the photos measures 21.33″ in circumference and is a great choice for 21-22″ heads. The largest size will suit women with a 22-23.5″ head circumference.
Which Yarn Is Recommended For This Summer Hat?
For this crochet sun hat project, be sure to use raffia yarn to give it structure and lightness. The designer suggests choosing 100% paper raffia yarn for a natural feel and unique touch. Couple your yarn with a 3 mm hook or any other hook size that will help you obtain the right gauge.
