Crochet Floppy Sun Hat

Post Views: 3,432

I rushed to get this one done because the ☀️ is here for the #summer!! This is made with #raffia and comes together in a day. Time to make something for yourself now… ????! My #Crochet #Floopy #Sun #Hat is fairly simple to make once you get used to working with raffia. I’ll be honest, it took me a bit longer than expected to get comfortable with the paper texture and find a way to wrap it around my fingers easily. But stick with it, it’s so worth every minute!

 
Materials:
 
 

Notes:

This hat is worked in the round starting from the top down and always in the back of each stitch.

Side note: Yashi is an unusual yarn which has lots of possibilities. It takes its inspiration from the Japanese art of paper folding, and has a durable, papery texture. Made of raffia and harvested from Raffia palm trees in Africa, this yarn will be ideal for making bags, hats, and home textiles.

 

Pattern:

Top:

Rnd 1: Start with a magic loop and working 7 SC in the in the middle. Join with a slip stitch.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, 2 SC in each SC (14 sts)

Rnd 3: 2 SC st in each of the previous round’s 2 SC, SC in every stitch otherwise. You will be increasing 7 sts every round.

Repeat Rnd 3 until the diameter is 8in (22in circumference)  Should be around 84 sts/12 rows. Place stitch marker

Next: Work rounds in SC (no longer increasing) until body from stitch marker is 4in

Brim:

Rnd 1: *Work 2 SC in the front of the next st, then SC in next stitch (1 st made over 2 stitches)*, repeat around (126)

Rnd 2: SC around in back stitch

Rnd 3:*Work 2 SC in the back of the next st, then SC in next two stitches (1 st made over 3 stitches)*, repeat around (168)

Rnd 4-6: SC around in back stitch

Rnd 8-9: SC around in back stitch
