Sunlit Bucket Hat

The Sunlit Bucket Hat is the ultimate accessory for those bright, sunny days, designed with an angled brim to effectively shade your face from harsh sunlight. This stylish and functional hat is not only a practical choice but also a fashionable addition to your summer wardrobe.

This knitting pattern guides you through creating the hat in the round, allowing for a seamless finish with the added detail of a folded brim. Unlike many other knitting patterns, this one is entirely written out with no charts, making it accessible for knitters at all skill levels. Additionally, it includes a comprehensive photo tutorial for crafting the folded brim, ensuring you achieve a polished look.

Materials Needed:

To complete the Sunlit Bucket Hat, you'll require 170 (190, 215) yards / 155 (175, 195) meters of worsted weight yarn. For the knitting itself, you'll need a 4mm / US 6 16” / 40cm circular needle plus a set of double-pointed needles (DPNs), and don’t forget a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds!

Finished Measurements:

This hat comes in three sizes with a finished circumference of 20 (22, 24)” / 51 (56, 61) cm. We recommend selecting a size that's close to or slightly larger than your actual head circumference for the perfect fit.

The multi-colored samples were knitted using Knit Picks Shine Multi Worsted in the delightful shades of Dinner Mints and Caramel Corn, perfect for a vibrant summer look. A solid version was crafted in Lily Sugar n Cream Solid shade Tangerine, showcasing the versatility of this pattern.
