Easy to make crochet bucket adult hat. I wanted to create a hat that has my signature love for texture. Texture keeps me interested in creating a crochet project.
I really love Bernat Softee Cotton yarn on how it feels. This hat is intended to be a bucket hat with protects the top of your head and opens to the brim to let the air flow on your forehead and back of the neck.
I used this cotton mix that can be worn in warmer weather.

Hey Mickey!
Working up Adult Bucket Hat; I feel that for the beginning rounds, either the instructions are wrong or the counts are wrong. I’m going with the round counts. Tried to locate an email to send this in but could find no help with that.
Thanks,
Robin
Mikey says
Thanks. I will suspend the pattern until I can review again. I'm sorry about that.
Robin says
You’re welcome!
Glad to be useful ?
Mikey says
Rnd 2 was incorrect. Thanks for pointing that out. I have updated the pattern and double checked the sample. Glad you were going by the stitch count.
Robin says
I believe Rnd 3 should also be 2 in the next and then 1; Rnd 4 should be 2 in the next and then 1 in the next 2; etc.
