Sun and Sand Bucket Hat

I created this pattern because I was looking for a sun hat for my grandson that had just the right amount of flare that his eyes were protected from the harsh Colorado sun, but he could still explore the world and I could see his sweet face.

Instructions included for 4 sizes: 3 mos - 10 years old. 

It requires a size 4.25 G hook. I used three colors of yarn with approximately 90-110 yards for the main color and 16 yards for contrasting color B and 8 yards for contrasting color C.

I used Peaches and Cream cotton yarn because that’s what I had on hand, but any worsted weight cotton yarn will be great for this pattern.

This is a perfect beginner pattern and just requires an understanding of basic written pattern instructions.

The hat works up in about an hour to 90 minutes so you can make one in every color you’ve got to match your little one’s outfits.
