Floppy sun hat free crochet pattern

Sharing is caring!

fre crochet wide brim sun hat secret garden how to tutorial for beginner

The rainy season is in the air, so it’s time to crochet a floppy sun hat to give you protection from the harmful UV length of the sun.

This floppy brim sun hat pattern is the perfect crochet project for all beginners out here to practice your skill and master it in time.

The weather is hot and humid here, and the rain makes everything so pretty in color, like the very green green grass, the blue blue sky, the fresh air, and the smell of good soil.

It inspired me to create this beautiful secret garden sun hat free pattern. So I pick up the bright and cheerful yellow color to crochet this hat.wide brim crochet sun hat tutorial

Easy floppy brim sun hat pattern.

This Secret garden crochet sun hat starts by crocheting a magic ring to work up on the crown, then continue to crochet the bucket part of the sun hat.

This sun hat had a simple lace on the bucket part to let the air come through so your head won’t be too much heat in the hot sun, and I have added a cute floral motif to spice it up a little bit.

For the wide floppy brim, I used the crochet blanket stitch, don’t get intermediate by the name of this stitch; actually, this stitch is very easy peasy for beginners. Just make a single and double crochet in the same stitch.

The tip for crocheting a brim for a sun hat not too floppy just needs to crochet the stitch tightly, not too loose, or use the smaller crochet hook for it; that is the trick I often use.
