I had some acrylic yarn in my stash and had been knitting on a sweater, as a fast break I decided to make a sun hat. I found some video tutorials from BobWilson123, (YouTube link). If you are not familiar with her, she makes a lot of video tutorials on YouTube on crochet projects. She also has them written out in PDF on her website (link) I believe all of her patterns are free, as of this writing. Her videos are excellent and I found her when I was trying to understand a crochet stitch pattern. I would highly recommend checking her out!
The pattern I choose was her Mesh Sun Hat (link). If you look at the people that have made it, there is one who used less increases than called for in the pattern to get a flatter brim. One increase every 4th Stitch instead of what is called for. I liked the look of this, and went with her suggestion. This pattern was very easy, and I’m not an advanced in my crochet. Also I completed it in 2 hours. The videos goes through the entire process of making the hat, so anyone could make this.
Love the results!
My husband is wearing it for the photos! I think it could be for either sex.
Another sun hat I was interested in making I’ll (link here), it has a wider brim. From Rainbow Warrior on You Tube. It is called the Crochet Sun Hat
It gets very hot and humid here, and I have a few sun hats that I’ve made with cotton yarn. I was curious to try some acrylic from my stash. It is surprisingly cool, I think the mesh stitch is the key. I think I’ll also try this hat in cotton yarn.
Keep cool this summer!
