A beautiful, quick-to-make crochet bucket hat worked top-down in continuous rounds — no seams, no joining. The alternating single crochet and double crochet stitch pattern creates a gorgeous open, textured fabric with a subtle checkerboard effect that looks far more complex than it is to make.

This pattern comes in four sizes so you can make one for the whole family:
• Baby — 6 to 12 months (includes optional I-cord chin ties)
• Toddler — 18 to 24 months (includes optional I-cord chin ties)
• Child
• Adult

The hat is worked in 100% cotton worsted weight yarn held double, making it breathable, structured, and machine washable — ideal for a summer sun hat.
