Jo is the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe, giving 90’s vibes to any outfit you pair it with! This beginner friendly bucket hat crochet pattern is a quick and easy summer project, and the ribbed stitching throughout gives a fun texture to the hat. This pattern is written tutorial style, meaning it can be scaled to fit any size needed. A weight 4 cotton yarn is highly recommended to complete this project, however any yarn can be used. Use a hook that is several sizes smaller than recommended on your yarn label to give this bucket hat structure, or opt for the recommended hook size to produce a more floppy hat.

This hat is constructed in one piece, in the round. A base circle is created for the top of the hat. The sides are then worked up in a simple rib stitch, with one increasing row halfway up the side to give shape to the hat. The brim is then worked by alternating between increasing and working rounds evenly. Finally, some decorative slip stitch detailing is added to the hat for some additional visual interest.

In the tutorial I say that any weight and fibre yarn and hook size can be used. The hat showcased in the tutorial was made with 225 m of weight 4 (worsted weight) cotton yarn and a 3.75mm hook. IMPORTANT: Yardage, hook size, and gauge will all vary depending on the size and weight of materials used.
