Best yarn for a crochet sun hat

I used WeCrochet / KnitPicks Dishie yarn for my Country Cottage Sun Hats.

Dishie is a 100% cotton yarn and it comes in a variety of beautiful colors.

It’s my favorite cotton yarn! It soft but durable, it doesn’t pill, and it holds its shape well.

I used the colors Butterscotch (yellow), Jade (green), and Swan (white).

Feel free to use your favorite medium 4 weight yarn though! I like using cotton yarn for this sun hat because it’s durable, machine washable, and sturdy enough to hold a good shape. You can use a different fiber if you prefer though!

Here are some other yarns my testers used and that worked well:

• Loops & Threads Classic Cotton
• Premier Home Cotton
• I Love This Cotton
• Premier Basic Worsted
• Sugar n’ Cream

Sizes

This pattern includes 5 sizes: baby, toddler, child, teen / adult small, and adult large.

See the size chart below to find the best size for you. This hat does stretch a bit so it’s made a bit small than the head size.

It’s always best to make the gauge swatch (found below in the notes) to ensure proper sizing!

Sizes (Head Circumference)	Hat Circumference	Hat Height (Not including brim)	Yardage (standard / ruffled & wide brim)
Baby 0-12m (13-15″)	13″	5″	90 / 100 yards
Toddler 1-3yrs (16-17″)	15″	5.5″	140 / 150 yards
Child 3-10yrs (18-20″)	17″	6″	165 / 175 yards
Teen/Adult Small (20-22″)	19″	7″	190 / 201 yards
Adult Large (22-23″)	21″	7.5″	215 / 230 yards

Brim Options

This pattern includes 3 brim options: standard, ruffled, and wide. All of the brim options can be customized to be any length/width by continuing to increase the brim rounds until your desired length is reached.

The standard brim is a bucket styled brim, which has a slight angle downward.

The ruffled brim is wavier, it’s super cute for kids or for adults who like whimsey!

The wide brim is worked the same as the ruffled brim but you add hat wire to make it sturdy and straight! You can also bend and mold the wire to make any style you’d like!

I got the hat wire for the wide brimmed hat from Judith M Millinery Supply House. It is a white rayon covered wire in the size #19. You need about 1 yard of wire per hat. I would order a bit extra just in case. I cut my wire longer than I needed then trimmed it at the end.

If using the hat wire, you will also need a metal joiner to join the ends. I also got those from Judith M Millinery Supply House. Place both ends of the wire in the joiner, then use pliers to squeeze and close the joiner around the ends.

Gauge

15 STs x 10 Rows = 4″ x 4″ in HDC

Adjust hook size to meet gauge.

notes

• CH 1 or 2 at the beginning of each round does not count as a ST.
• At the end of each round, join with a SL ST to the top of the 1st ST of the round. Work your 1st ST of the new round into the same ST you joined to.
• The Round and ST numbers are in order by size from smallest to largest.
• Instructions between *asterisks* are to be repeated until the end of the round.
• ST x# means to work 1 ST into that # STs across. # ST means to work that # of STs all into the same ST. Example: HDC x3 means to work 1 HDC into each of the next 3 STs.  2 HDC means to work 2 HDC (an increase) into the same ST.

Supplies

• Medium (4) weight yarn (see yardage above in size chart)
  • I used KnitPicks / WeCrochet Dishie in Butterscotch, Swan,  and Jade.

Yarn over, insert your hook behind the post of the next ST (going in from the front, wrap around the back, and up through to the front again). Yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through last 2 loops.

Adding the Wire

See video tutorial for assistance.

We will add the wire on the last SC round of the brim.

Cut your wire so it is at least 1-2″ longer than the circumference of your brim. Keep in mind that the brim will stretch so cut the wire longer than you need and you can trim it at the end for the perfect fit.

Start your final round and work each SC ST around the wire.

When you reach the end of the round (before joining), trim your wire until the ends meet, place your metal joiner between the 2 ends, and squish the ends of the metal joiner to secure the ends of the wire.

Finish the round by joining with a SL ST to the 1st ST of the round.

Cut off yarn and weave in ends.

And you’re all done!
