Construction: The Bestie Bucket Hat is a cute, flowy knit that begins with the brim. Once the brim is complete, the live stitches are joined to the cast-on edge, and then worked in the gingham pattern before shaping the crown with decreases. Finally, the remaining opening is closed by threading the yarn through the stitches and pulling it tight. Option in pattern to make a super flowy brim.
