☀️ The sun hat you’ll make for every head in the family.

This breezy cotton sun hat has a band of Wheat Stitch™ right where the crown meets the brim, so it looks woven and a little extra special. Slip a wire into the last round and the brim stays crisp and sun ready all season.

Seven sizes, newborn to large adult, so everybody gets a matching beach day hat.
