Crochet Straw Sun Hat Free Pattern

Crochet Straw Sun Hat Pattern by Crochet For You.

Hi everyone, I thought I’d make and share few summer sun hats for this year. Here is the first sun hat I made. 🙂

The texture and the color of this hat, remind me a real straw hat. When I was a little, I read The Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I remember Laura’s mother make braided wheat straw hats for everyone. I really enjoyed reading this book series and still loving it. 🙂

This crochet straw sun hat perfect for both men and women. For a woman, the hat looks more beautiful with a black ribbon band. Crocheting into the 3^rd loop give a nice texture to this sun hat pattern.

Special stitch

hdc in 3rd loop= Click here to see a tutorial by My Hobby Is Crochet
And I followed invisible joining method on the same post above on My Hobby Is Crochet. Because the normal method of joining is not matching when crocheting into the 3rd loop. It was really helpful and great for a nice texture with 3^rd loop crochet.
