Bucket hats are really cool — and here are some of the ones I’ve made. There is no pattern, and each has been a bit of an experiment. Basically, I just winged it! 😊
Essentially, there are three sections to the hat. The hat is made as one piece, so these sections aren’t crocheted separately and sewn together:
- the crown,
- the middle,
- and the rim.
I used single crochet as the stitch of choice for the whole hat. I worked the crown in a circle, until it was around 6.5 inches in diameter. For the middle part, I kept going until it was a band which reached the top of my ear. And then finally, I made the rim – approximately 2.5 inches, but it’s really up to you. As the rim is flared, it was also quite an experiment – and I undid and redid this part several times.
Below are some of the hats I made. Big thanks to Jamie for helping model one of them. These hats were made with acrylic yarn using a 4 mm crochet hook.
Enjoy the “Hatstravaganza!”
