With summer now in full swing, I decided to designed a sun / beach hat. This hat is made using cotton yarn, and 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I originally made this in one colour, and the pattern has been written accordingly – however, you can choose to use more than 1 colour. Yarn used is sport weight cotton yarn – I used again is Katia Menfis . You will need just a bit over 1 100g ball, so I recommend you get 2.

The pattern is available in my Ravelry store.

The hat will fit an adult. It is made in one piece, but has 3 distinct sections:

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