Here in Florida, summer is just around the corner. In fact,
some days it feels like it’s already arrived. Our little girls Crochet
love to play outside! They don’t even need toys; they just Projects
run around like the crazy little people that they are and
have a grand ol’ time. I’m afraid at least one of our little Just For Fun
girls has inherited my fair skin. Since it is said that just one
bad sunburn can cause skin cancer later in life, I try to be Recipes
very careful about protecting the delicate skin that my girls
have.
One way we can do that is by wearing hats. What better
kind than a crocheted sun hat? This sun hat is by no means
SEARCH
a brand new look… I’ve seen similar patterns in various
places on the web. But since I whipped one of these

Looking for something?
adorable sun hats up last night using my own pattern, I
wanted to share it with you all.

great option as would this double layer daisy.

Very pretty! What do you mean by <i>&quot;This

pattern is worked through both loops&quot;</i>? Thank
you!

Some patterns are worked through the front loop, some

are worked through the back loop, but most, like this
one, are worked under both loops

Hi thanks so much for the free pattern I love the look of

with a ch2?

Thanks for this free pattern. The sun hat is absolutely

adorable. I&#39;m a beginner and I&#39;ve tried a few
of your patterns and I love them all. Very easy to do
and instructions are very easy to follow. <br /><br />For
this sun hat, do you have any recommendations for
fitting a 1-yr-old? Thanks!!

I am a beginner, and need to know if you could give me

any guidance to make this hat for an adult.<br /><br />I
love everything about this hat!!! Thank You!<br />

I made this hat with Lily Sugar and Cream. It turned out
huge, too big for me even and I was hoping to give it to
my 3 yr old granddaughter. I have a tight stitch so I
don&#39;t usually things I make are too small, not too
large. What kind of cotton yarn did you use?

Hi, Beth. Any chance you skipped just one stitch rather
than 2 on your first round of shells?

12. T I L L I E S A N G E L S AY S

I used Lily sugar and crème also. It was definitely too

small for an adult. I need a way to make it an adult
size. As a beginner, I don&#39;t know how to do that.
Thanks to anyone who responds…..

Hello, this hat pattern is really beautiful and it&#39;s

exactly what I was looking for. I just need to make is in
much smaller size. My daughter&#39;s head
circumference is 41 cm, so I would like to adjust it to 6-
12 months baby size. Could you please let me know if
it would be possible and how? Should I just take
smaller hooks or remove some rounds?<br />I would
really appreciate your help on

I love this hat! I would love to make it for my 15 month

old daughter who wears hearing aids. This would be
perfect for her because of the brim which would allow
room for the hearing aids! If you could help with making
this in a smaller size I would really appreciate it!!!

I love this hat and it works up quite quickly, however, I

too made this hat in Lily Sugar n Cream. It is large
enough to fit me. I also made it in Permiee Yarns Home
Cotton and it is quite a bit smaller. Next I will try a DK
cotton.

For those of you wanting different sizes would it not

work to change your needle sizes down or up
according to the way in which you want to go?

Hi,

I’ve just tried to crochet this hat and I love the design.
But I have some problem when it comes to the brim
part. My brim turns out to be very curvy/wavy and it
doesn’t flow like how it looks like in your photo. Any
advise? Other than the brim, the hat is perfect!

Thanks for sharing the pattern.

Thank you Lauren for sharing your art. I’m looking

forward to making this cute hat for my 3 yr old
granddaughter for her tea parties with her 3year old
cousin.. Now to fine a dress!

Definitely too big using sugar n cream or Lily n cream

cotton yarn with the j and k hook. I wanted this for
toddler and its more large adult size.

For those trying to make the hat smaller. I use Premier

Yarns Cotton, it’s a #2 Fine Yarn, 3.50 oz ball, the
finished hat took less than 1 ball, and I used size H
instead of J and size G instead of I, and my finished
hat came out to be a toddler size 2-4 years. I’m going
to make another dropping 2 more sizes and see what
size hat that makes, I’m trying to get infant sizes, I’ll
keep you posted.
Thanks for the pattern ins awesome and I finished the
hat in a few hours and I’m a relatively new crocheter.
