This is a top-down crochet sunhat in all sizes baby-adult. You can can make one for all the family, and even for your pet cat or small dog!

It uses dk cotton/linen yarn, and features a special stitch, the dinosaur stitch, which is my own invention.

The dinosaur stitch is worked in alternating rows of one colour at a time, and is much quicker than embroidering all the dinosaurs onto a plain hat.

Suggested hook size: 4mm, 3.5 mm for brim
Yarn weight: dk/8-ply/light worsted
Suggested yarn: Drops Belle from Garnstudio.

Also needed:
Tapestry needle, embroidery scissors for sewing in ends.
