As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been working on my own pattern for a bucket hat. This is my striped bucket hat, embellished with flowers.

The pattern is available in my Ravelry store.

This beautiful bucket hat is made using 2 colours in sport weight cotton yarn. The yarn I used is Katia Menfis cotton yarn. This comes in 100 g balls, and you will need 1 ball in each colour.

The hat will fit an adult. It is made in one piece, but has stylistically three distinct sections:

• the top part, measuring approximately 6.5 inches
• a middle section measuring 3.5 inches in height and
• the rim, which is 1.5 inches.

For the flowers, you can choose to make these in any other complementary colours, or stick with the two main colours of the hat.

Here are a couple of colour variations which I have made. Also, as the flowers are crocheted separately, you can decide to leave them out.
