With only one stitch- the single crochet- required, this bucket hat is super simple and snug. I like the tightly woven texture of it because it’s not as floppy as my double crochet bucket hat, perfect when you want a more minimal brim similar to a cloche.

We’re going to focus on the shaping and not color changes, but I will provide summarized instructions for how to achieve this pretty ombre.

Materials:

US size H/ 5mm hook

#4 medium weight yarn- (1) 7oz skein or 5 colors of your choice

tapestry needle & scissors

Abbreviations:

ch- chain, sts- stitches, sc- single crochet, 2sc- increase by crocheting two sc’s into one stitch, sl st- slip stitch
