An adorable sun hat in 4 sizes for a newborn up to about 24 months in cotton yarn.

My first grandchild is due this year and we know it’s a girl! The due date is late summer so any new-born article needs to be light. This flowery sun hat drifted into my mind, on a lazy summer breeze.

This pattern works up really quickly with just a few unusual instructions to get the petal tip detail over the green leaf brim.

There are detailed instructions for 4 sizes with photos to help but also guide-lines on how to adapt it for other sizes.

The yardage given is the total yarn needed. One 50g ball of white easily makes the biggest size with modest amounts of yellow and green to complete.

Although the design is modelled on a daisy, it would look lovely in other colours to create asters, gerberas, etc. The lacy design makes it cool to wear but does not provide total protection from the sun.
