Soak up the sun in a handmade hat! Perfect for a walk on the beach, watching a sporting event or relaxing at a family picnic, these toppers have you covered in style.

The stylish knit Scrappy Bucket Hat by Jess Coppom (Make & Do Crew) features simple rows of garter in a fun marled look. Knit in Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, the hat is breathable & cool for summer heat. The Ferragosto Hat by Gudrun Fesl has a similar shape & would be great in Cascade Hampton or Berroco Remix Light. For a fun, textured look try Berroco Meraki, a unique blend of cotton & hemp.

Crochet is wonderful for more structured accessories such as hats & bags. The Summer Stripes Crochet Bucket Hat is crocheted in Lily Sugar’n Cream, a 100% cotton favorite. The classic beach stripes are fun to customize for outfit matches. Try a mix of a solid + speckle for a fun, fashion moment.
