What Level of Crocheter is This Pattern Suitable For?
This lovely crochet hat pattern is accessible to those with basic crafting skills, including beginners. Worked with a 5.5 mm or 6 mm crochet hook (depending on the size), you can whip up this beanie in just one hour.
The pattern features a simple combination of chains and half double crochets that create a beautiful, breathable fabric.
Best Yarn for Cotton Flapper Hat
The hat sample featured in the photos was crafted with Pisgah Yarn & Dyeing Co. Peaches & Creme, an aran-weight yarn with 100% cotton fiber content. Unfortunately, this yarn is no longer available to buy. Instead, you can use any other cotton yarn that you have in your local store. Just make sure it has medium-weight in order to obtain the correct gauge.
Can I Use Acrylic Yarn Instead of Cotton?
Yes, you can. However, you should remember that acrylic fibers are typically used for fall and winter projects. They are warmer to the touch and not as breathable. Therefore, cotton yarn makes a much better choice if you intend to wear this hat during spring or summer.
Add Your Own Flair – Buttons, Bows, and More
The Cotton Flapper beanie leaves a broad room for personalization! The original design features a charming flower motif, but you can switch it for any other embellishment you like.
Think about a cute bow, colorful butterfly applique, or elegant button decoration. These little customized touches will add a unique style to your hat. If you are making it for your child, ask them what they would like to decorate it with. I’m sure they’ll come up with some cool ideas!
