With summer now in full swing, I decided to design my own sun/beach hat. It’s made using cotton yarn, and the pattern incorporates holes to keep it light and allow for good air circulation.

I originally made this in one colour, and the pattern has been written accordingly – however, you can choose to use more than one colour. Yarn used is sport weight cotton yarn – I once again used Katia Menfis . You will need just a bit over one 100g ball, so I recommend you get two.

The pattern is available in my Ravelry store →

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

• the top part, measuring approximately 6.5 inches,
• a middle section measuring 3 inches in height and
• the rim, which is 2.75 inches.
