Pattern - Toddler bucket hat

I ADORE this hat!! It was so quick and easy to make and I love the finished hat ❤️

Follow this easy tutorial and make a cute bucket hat like this one. I made one with 2 colours and another with a solid colour. If you prefer to do the solid colour hat, ignore the colour change suggestions.

Notes 

• This pattern uses US terms 
• It’s best to use a stitch marker, removing it when you get to that stitch and replacing once you’ve done that stitch.
• For this pattern I use a smaller hook than suggested because I didn’t want holes and my tension is loose. But use whichever hook works for you and that you are comfortable with.

Materials used 

• 3.5 mm hook 
• Stylecraft special DK - Pale rose, Stylecraft special DK - White
• stitch marker 
• tapestry needle 
• Scissors 

Terminology used 

1. Sc = single crochet
2. Sts = stitches 
3. HDC =half double crochet
4. ch = chain
