Materials:
Worsted weight yarn (in your choice of color)
Crochet hook (size H/5mm)
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Stitch marker (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Begin by creating a slip knot and chaining 4. Join the chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Step 2: Chain 2 (counts as first stitch). Double crochet 9 times into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
Step 3: Chain 2. Double crochet twice into the first stitch, then double crochet once into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (2 double crochet, 1 double crochet) until the end of the round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
Step 4: Chain 2. Double crochet twice into the first stitch, then double crochet once into each of the next two stitches. Repeat this pattern (2 double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet) until the end of the round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
Step 5: Chain 2. Double crochet twice into the first stitch, then double crochet once into each of the next three stitches. Repeat this pattern (2 double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet) until the end of the round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
Step 6: Continue this pattern, increasing one double crochet between the double crochets until the piece measures approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Step 7: Once you have reached the desired size, chain 1 and begin single crocheting in each stitch around for the next several rows until the brim of the hat measures 1 inch.
Step 8: To finish, cut the yarn and weave in the ends with a tapestry needle.
Voila! You now have a stylish and trendy crochet bucket hat to wear and show off. Experiment with different colors and patterns to create a unique accessory that truly reflects your personal style. Happy crocheting!
