The Crochet Cotton Sun Hat uses the latest Bernat Softee Cotton yarn. Sized for an average adult female. Double-stranded for sturdiness.
Challenged by the social team of Yarnspirations to develop a summer based hat,
I pulled inspiration from the Crochet Bucket Hat by Yarnspirations for stitch count tolerance.
I didn’t want just straight double crochets as it’s too easy for me to do that. Instead, I used the stitch counts to give me a helping hand.
Using my preference of textured stitches, someone messaged me about the bean stitch earlier in the day before starting to design this. So I had the bean stitch on the brain, sort of speak, and wondered if I could through that in my hat.
The latest new yarn called Bernat Softee Cotton is not dishrag cotton. It’s fashion cotton on the light #3 level. I double-stranded to provide more strength and durability. The hat has substance and possibly a hat style you would find in a gift shop. The way the bean stitch and the 2 dc that share a stitch work together, visually gives me the impression of weaving and intention gapping spaces to let the heat from your head escape.

Alternative Sizing
During the tutorial, I did the entire pattern using the 4 mm / G Hook with single-stranding Caron Cotton Cakes. The hat turns to a child-size of 19″. A child’s head circumference is 18″ – 20″. It’s lightweight and works.
Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I could not comprehend round 28 until I watched it. Love the pattern.
I so need the videos to be able to do any new items. Your videos are easiest for me to follow. I’m in love with this (cotton crochet hat) hat and would love to make one for myself. Thanks so much for your inspirations!

Hi Mikey, I just wanted to thank you so much for the pattern of the Christmas Tree Skirt. I am going to do my best to follow your directions for it but I wanted to ask if there is a pattern for a circulat skirt instead of the granny style you had. I want to change the colors to a bright red, green and white.
So thank you again. I follow you on Facebook as much as I can.
We have several options. Try this link and see if there’s anything you like. https://thecrochetcrowd.com/?s=Christmas+Tree+Skirt
The tutorial is a good visualization that helps me read the pattern later. So please, if you can. Thanks .
a tutorial video please! Your tutorials are excellent and such a help. I as stuck on round 4 where you say single crochet around last post. I do not know what the ‘last post’ is. My apologies if you have already covered this issue.
I have done up a diagram which I am finalizing today. I am hoping this can answer your questions.
Hi Mikey,
I am up to roynd 6 of the cotton summer hat, and found a mistake (I think) in round 5 of the diagram. If you folliw the written instructions you have 2sc stitches between each set of 2 chains. Ending up with 20 sc and 10 chain 2 spaces. If you follow the diagram you have only 1 sc between chain 2 spaces. And you end up with too many chain 2 spaces.
Kind regards, and I love the hat
Thanks… It’s been fixed.
Yes! Please make a video for the hat. I can’t do anything new unless I watch you do it first. Thank you for all you do, it is very much appreciated by me a 70 yr old self taught with much help from you and been at it for 4 years now. Thanks again, Happy Hooker Bev. aka Damma the name my 1st grandchild started calling me because she couldn’t say the “gr” sound.
I could definitely use a tutorial. I would love to make this hat! Planning to make one !
Please make a video. I’m a visual learner and it really helps
Please would you do a tutorial I can’t read patterns or diagrams thank you Mikey you’re the best
I haven’t decided yet but leave it with me. I am so swamped with chaos, I don’t want to promise something that I cannot do. I know others want it too but I am short of time.
Is round 7 missing the chain 2 at the beginning? Or am I just reading it wrong which is totally possible. ? thank you for all you do.
I will have the testing team relook at my pattern.
I say a tutorial video because everyone learns differently. Some are more visual learners and you are the benchmark in the tutorial arena for crocheting. You give people the confidence and ability to appreciate your love of crochet! Please don’t ever stop sharing your talent both on camera and off.
It’s ok. I am getting it after ripping it out five times. I also looked at some of your other videos to help me
Figure out some of my questions.:-)
A tutorial would be great not only to just follow along, but it’s fun listening to you laugh and have fun doing something new. ?

I can’t figure out how to post my own comment. I can only reply to others. This is for The Crochet Crowd sun hat: I would love to make this hat.

You asked for us (on fb page) to leave message here if we’d like to see a tutorial from you. I see lots of ppl responding there ?.
I will probably attempt this on my own, but I love when I can watch you, to re-affirm that I’m doing it correctly ?.
To paraphrase what someone else wrote: “if you have the time in your very busy schedule,” I (we) would love a video tutorial. And appreciate it; and you so much for ALL that you do!! ?

Would love video of the crochet sun hat. Love all of Mikey’s video, and I learn visually rather then reading a pattern.
What a beautiful design!! Thank you for all of your creativity and hard work behind the scenes 🙂 I hope I’m not the only person who would love to see a video tutorial of this! After years of crocheting I’m finally able to start reading patterns, but I am such a visual learner…
I love this hat, but I think I would need a video tutorial. Hope you have time to do one. Thank you so much for all you do, I have learned a lot watching you videos. I love you humor too! Take car
Cathy from Hillsboro Va
Hi! I want yo thank Mikey for all what he teaches us!!!!
Aldo ask for a tutorial for making this beautiful hay!!!
Please Mikey!
Mikey, I love the new hat. I would love the directions to this little hat. I love making hats for summer. I used to make the big floppy hats but you have to starch the life out of them. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Rev. Florence Clarke
Mikey I’m with the others I’d love to see you make a video. I’ve looked over the pattern and am stuck at a few places. Lovely hat and I can’t wait to make one for my sister and my self.
I love this hat. I vote for a tutorial! Please!
I would like to print it is there an option to do this
There are two spots where you can get the PDF for this pattern. One is the name of the pattern in the first paragraph of the article – it is a blue link that will open the PDF for you. The other option is a little ways the article (between the headings of MORE IDEAS and TUTORIAL) you will see a pretty blue button that says FREE PATTERN that will take you to the pdf also. Hope it helps
Click where it says pattern in the blue box. That opens the pdf of the pattern. You can print from there.

Hi Mickey, Thanks for the pattern…. Just a note….. did you notice that on the pdf you have a little tidbit about the iphone holder? LOL

Video please and thank you
Please do a video. I got confused on row 5 ? realized how much i would have loved a diagram ? since i came up with 20 stitches and not 30.
