I used 7 strands of yarn and weaved them in and out every 2 stitches
in row 12. Make sure you leave a little slack so the hat can
stretch over the child's head.
Just curious what is the difference between connecting and joining?
I don’t ‘think there is a difference. ๐
I live the hats & would like to make one for my great niece & her mother when they come to visit from Texas. But am I missing the part for how much yarn is need for each size?? I want to purchase enought in the same dye lots?
Thank for posting instructions.
One ball for the baby sizes and two for child through adult ๐
This is a nice pattern. Thanks for sharing. The hat looks wonderful!
Great!! Thank you!
I lovee this pattern. Was wondering if it would be okay to sell finished products using it? Thanks!
๐ Yes! Once you make it, the item is yours to do what you wish <3
Great!! Thanks so much! I’ll be sure to post a pic of it once it’s finished tho! Thanks again!

What age does this hat fit? I want one for a 18 month old and one for a 4 year old.

This one, the toddler size, should fit your 18 month old from now and for the next couple years. The child size, https://stitch11.memberhost.io/sunshine-sara/, will be great for a 4 year old.
I just made one for my daughter! Simply lovely, thanks for sharing this. I posted some beautiful pictures of it on my blog! Come take a look. =) shaggycreations.blogspot.com
Just had to share, I am close to 72 and have been crocheting for nearly 50 years. We share our anniversary with our granddaughter. We took her and her daughter, age 2, out for dinner & Krystal asked me if I could make Mackenzie a sun hat from a picture. Of course I was gung ho for the challenge. I have been playing with it all day & got to the brim and couldn’t see the picture very clearly. So, I decided to go searching and was luck enough to find your pattern which is he exact hat. When we get home I plan on returning to your site and following your Stitch11. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
can i used two strands of this yarn http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/CotLin_DK_Yarn__D5420162.html instead of cookies and cream? This looks adorable!! can’t wait to get started!
I think it would, but I wouldn’t know for sure unless I tested out the idea.
Are your instructions and stiches anerican or imperial as im from Australia thank u
They are US terms. ๐
Hello, I’m just wondering if you by chance have any instructions to make this for a 3-6 month size?
The smallest I have is 6-9 months, but you could use a regular worsted instead of the cotton.. it would work up a little smaller. Here are all my sizes. https://stitch11.memberhost.io/free-crochet-sun-hat-patterns/
Is the 4ply yarn used two strands
One strand. Medium/worsted weight.
Would the toddler version of this pattern fit a 18.5″ head measurement?
If you are using cotton, yes for sure. These hats run pretty big. But the yarn/ribbon around the hat prevents stretching.
So once you make the hat, just make sure you do your yarn/ribbon, the measurement you need.
What kind of yarn is used for sun hats? Cotton?
