ABOUT
Introducing the Arcus Bucket Hat, the ultimate summer accessory, worthy of a fashion editorial. When I needed a colorful sun hat for a vacation that met all my expectations, the Arcus bucket hat was created. Its seamless construction offers a flattering fit for all head sizes, incorporating decorative into a day-to-day staple. Made from breathable cotton yarn, or any type of yarn you have at home. The hat provides just the right amount of coverage, shielding your head and face from the sun while keeping your outfit looking gorgeous. Perfect for using up scrap yarn, it’s a quick, enjoyable project that makes for a thoughtful, handmade gift!
