Bucket Hat Pattern Skill Level and Yarn Requirements

I kept the design of this bucket hat pattern simple and beginner-friendly by using basic stitches and a classic shape that works for just about everyone. You can of course, feel free to play around with different colors! I used cotton/linen yarn blend for mine so it’s breathable and holds its shape nicely, but any dk weight cotton or cotton blend should work. Here’s the link to the yarn that I used: We Crochet Cotlin DK Yarn. Some other options that I recommend are:

Notes:

This simple bucket hat is worked from the top down in the round. Here are a couple of pointers before you begin crocheting your hat:

Work the rounds in spirals and do not join at the beginning of each round. It is very helpful to use a removable stitch marker to mark the end of each round.
Each round shows the total number of stitches for the round in brackets. I recommend checking the count every few rows.
