The Wyola Hat – Free Summer Hat Knitting Pattern

Looking for the perfect summer sun hat to knit? The Wyola Hat is a lightweight, breathable, and stylish top-down design created to keep you cool and covered.

I designed this for my daughter after a sunburn-filled church camp in Wyola, MT—and this year, she stayed sunburn-free (well…except for her arms ).

Here’s why you’ll love it:

Top-down construction – no seaming or picking up stitches
⬆️ Hidden yarn over increases – twisted on the next round for a clean finish
Embroidered chain stitch accent – adds handmade charm
Wide brim with picot hem – structure + sweet detail
Lightweight + airy – ideal for hot weather wear
Kid-approved – protects neck, face, and ears from harsh sun

This pattern is written for one size and perfect for confident beginners ready to try something new!

Includes links to tutorials for the picot hem bind-off and chain stitch embroidery
