Crochet Sun Hat Free Pattern

[@kristinarodriguez5652]

5 years later and this is the best tutorial ever! So easy to follow, about to start my brim!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you Kristina!

Fellow yarn junkie here. If I walked into someone's home and saw they had completely organized their yarn, I'd honestly assume they were a serial killer. That's crazy on another level. Lol. Keep it real and store your craft horde randomly in bags, bins, and cookie tins like our good grandmas taught us! 🤣🤣🤣

Awww... I know this comment is old, but it's too relatable! Lol

[@ahargers93]

Lmao I have ALL my craft stuff organized very well because I need to be able to go directly to it when I need it. I have cube organizers for my yarn organized by color and the cotton yarn is on a rolling cart also organized by color. My cricut vinyl is in clear drawers organized by type. My paints are organized by color. Even my BOOKS are super organized. However, the rest of my house is a hot mess. 🤣🤣

[@mjw1976]

I know this probably wasn't what you intended for this hat, but I crocheted this in black, gave the brim a red sc border, folded up 3 sides of the brim and pinned them to the body, added a crocheted skull/crossbones applique, and made a really cool (and relatively warm!) pirate hat for Halloween. Thank you for this pattern! I wish KZbin would let us upload pics in the comments.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

That sounds sooo cool! Tag me on Instagram @littlejohnsyarn

[@CielLaMar23]

I plan to do the exact same thing with my hat, turn it into a pirate tricorn! I'm using a yarn made from nettle so it'll like like a slubby straw hat. Do you have pictures of your hat?

[@uyvonnescott1945]

@@LittlejohnsYarn hello is it ok if I use hdc for the top

[@cashewt]

Haha that's crazy that's exactly what I'm planning on doing!! happy Halloween 1 year later 😌🎃

Hi I'm using cotton do I have to double the yarn

[@crochetknitmore6239]

Oh honey...You are not alone! I have crates, bags and boxes of yarn EVERYWHERE!!! Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Lol I am still trying to organize it lol.

[@morganabsher598]

As a person who can hardly crochet, I was able to follow you almost perfectly, and what I didn't understand was easy to pick up as I watched. I did leave a few of the last rows out because I wanted my brim a little smaller, but for me, it looks great! I finished it in one day, which also gave me an excuse to binge watch a tv show.

[@neenab9143]

I know this is an old video, but I absolutely loved it. I am happy I watched to the end because YES my yarn looks the same way and I do envy people who have all nice and neat. LOL! Thank you also for showing the writing pattern process. Thank you so much for this video. I hope you get this.

[@gardenlady841]

Iveknit tons of hats but never crocheted a sun hat. This is my next project. Very clear directions. Thanx

[@Kyddoemiko13]

I have bales of yarn two closets and several sacks of yarn in those closets thank you so much for making this video 😁👍

Great to see the creator's face as well as the process for the written pattern, thank you!

[@noreenhuff3161]

I have my yarn in plastic bins! Thank you for your wonderful video.

[@violamckar8585]

I'm so glad I came back to you to make a summer hat cause everyone else was using fish wire and weed cutter wire. Flora wire is the best and keep up the excellent work...As a beginner you make patterns easy to follow with you..❤️🙏

[@ginawallace7338]

Love it!!! And that your yarn stash looks like mine. Thankful for messy craft honesty, I don’t feel ashamed anymore.

[@SarahBEtv]

I love this! I make my own twine from desert yucca leaves and its easy to crochet when wet so im gonna use your pattern to make my own hat! Thank you!

[@aeliciacrafts3566]

I bet that’s nice. Where can I get that material

[@KristenNordwig]

Loved this tutorial and this hat! I just finished what was supposed to be a gift, but I decided I was gonna keep. lol. Although I’m gonna play around with making a new one and see what I can do with it. Thanks for such a great pattern and tutorial!

[@jennifer14256]

What yarn did you use? I want to make a summer hat & curious if worsted acrylic yarn will be heavy & feel hot.

[@PinkHooker]

I made it! I made it!!!! Took me an afternoon to make it with making dinner, attending to our 4 legged children 🐾🐾. I did switch up the yarn to the Lion Brand-Feels Like Butta yarn. Ooooo girl it’s so soft and breathes very well. I used the charcoal gray for the top and ice-a light minty green for the brim. I wish I could send a photo so you can see it. Thank you so much for the pattern. I’ve already got my birthday sister wishing hard to the birthday fairy for one lol!!!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

I'm glad it worked out for you with your busy schedule 🥰

[@nefertitiben]

1. This is a very good tutorial 2. It took me the whole day to make a hat 3. I can barely type coz my hands and fingers are sore 4. I won't be surprised if someone were to find me muttering in my sleep "1 2 3 4 5 6 increase.. 123456 increase.." I feel like I have made a new friend! Lol

Omgoodness! I’ve been wanting a sunhat for years now! Just never wanted to spend the money on one that isn’t quality. I love this pattern! Super easy, even for beginner crochet-ers like myself!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this pattern and video. I’m entered into a beauty pageant and there’s a PG swimsuit portion and I’ve made a simple bikini top and now the sunhat will be perfect to complete the ensemble. I’m over the moon! Can’t say thank you enough 💖💖💖💖

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you Trisha🥰

[@TheAureliac]

Beautiful hat and excellent tutorial, but I most loved your explanation of the process you go through to create both. And yes, most of my yarn stash is in store bags like yours. I keep some in nice bins I've collected over the years and some in fancy boxes (but I always forget what's where). The most useful is the soft plastic container from a quilt I bought. You can see everything, it zips and it has a little pocket to stash crochet hooks and scissors. Not elegant, but I don't worry about dust and I can see it all at a glance. Thanks for posting.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you for the tip. I collect yarn too!!😂 I don't mean to, but. Always waiting on the perfect project

[@kittfln8168]

Thank you for this. Your very talented and I appreciate that you have this available on YT. Also love the tip on using floral wire for hat brim. I have yarn thrown bags in a tote in the corner. And yes yarn buying is an addiction. There's a wall sticker that says yarn buying , pattern collecting and crocheting are separate hobbies or something

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

They are separate hobbies, lol! That is too funny. I'm always so jealous of those with beautiful yarn shelves....how does it stay like that?

[@kittfln8168]

[@wendelynyoung8609]

Love your sun hat tutorial😘. This hat would make a great Mother’s Day gift. I’ll have to make one for myself first without the wire first. I’ve finally put my yarn in bins. Bins of cotton, acrylic, wool. Those are then sorted by colors. THEN sock yarn or finer are on shelves. THEN my bins of WIPS or undo projects🤪. First I stash dive before I buy. Man, I rediscovered yarn I bought years ago. Lol😱😂😂🤪😜 Thanks for all the work you do👌🏿👊🏾

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Wendelyn, please come to my house and do the same thing to my stash 😅 just this weekend I put everything on shelves.... In a matter of a week it'll look just the way it did before 🤣

[@wendelynyoung8609]

Littlejohn's Yarn here’s a suggestion-since you worked so hard to put them away-throw those bags away or put in the garage behind boxes. Lol. Good luck, it’s a process (right). Hehehe🤣😃 So far, it’s been two weeks-the “mess” is the current projects. Darn those WIPS!!!

[@karenlaws3019]

Oh my! I followed this video right along with you and my beautiful sun hat is done ❤. Your tutorials are always so well explained. Thanks so much! Btw, I left the wire out. In my opinion, this hat doesn't need it..the brim sits just stiff enough to have a nice flow without looking rigid 💕

[@coekeetoasgarden6844]

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

Really good tutorial, you’re a great teacher! Thank you!

[@lutchien]

Thanks for your hard work on this! I'm going to try to modify it for a little girl. Maybe a smaller hook size? I'm never sure about how to make adjustments but at least so know the diameter/circumference of her lil head, so I can work from there. I also can't leave my house to get any floral wire, so the weed trimming wire I "liberated" from my brother-in-law will have to do 😂

[@amandalambert-smith1196]

I was marking a ski mask for Christmas And I couldn’t quite get the under Eye cover perfect it was either to tight and would hurt or it was way too loose and would fall off and I restarted it at least five times and then I was at the dollar tree and I spotted this floral wire and bought it to make some finger yarn guides and I had a genius revelation after watching this I could use it in my ski mask so that you could bend it to the contour of your face and it wouldn’t fall off Thank you

Just a quick question, if I am not too late in time after this tutorial: what happens to the flower wire in the process of washing the hat? Do you wash it manually or in the washing machine? I`d be grateful for an answer.
