Crochet bucket hats are the perfect accessory for a summer day. They are cool and comfortable, and they protect your head from the sun. They are also very easy to make. All you need is a crochet hook and some yarn. The easiest way to make a crochet bucket hat is to use a pattern. There are many different patterns available online of course, but I shall offer my own version here. Enjoy!

Table of Contents
Material needed to crochet the bucket hat
- 200 grams of any fingering acrylic yarn or cotton yarn (if you are using two colors 100 grams of each color)
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Stitches used in the project
Ch | chain |

Gauge
You don’t need a specific gauge for this hat. But there is a stitch gauge of 6 to 7 sts in one inch.
Size
I have made this an adult size you can make it small by using a smaller hook or by measuring with the brim as we will make it first so it will be easy to measure the head size.
Options
Depending on the final thickness you wish to go for you could choose a lighter version with Sport weight yarn or a slightly thicker version with DK weight yarn.
*Special note*
- I will use two colors, to make it easier, I have mentioned color A and color B work as
Asc: A color single crochet
Bsc: B color single crochet
- Join with a sl st at the end of each round
- Ch1 does not count as a stitch
- Repeat all the instructions within ** till the end of the round
- Inc (Asc, Bsc) means you have to make 1 sc in A color and ! sc in B color in increase sts
- Inc (A) or inc (B) means make increase sts with color A or color B only
