The Crab Bucket Hat is a free crochet pattern on my blog!

The base of this hat is my Essential Basic Bucket Hat — a simple, sturdy single crochet bucket hat worked in continuous rounds from the crown down to the brim. It’s the same reliable base I use for every hat in the Summer Kids’ series, and it’s the perfect canvas for the character details that make each one unique.

With crocheted googly eyes, rosy cheeks, and little claws, this hat is guaranteed to be the star of every beach day, pool party, and summer craft fair.

Pattern available in 3 kid sizes - Newborn - 6 months, Toddler & Child.
