Easy Bucket Hat Crochet Pattern

"Whether you call them bucket hats, fisherman hats or sun hats, this is an iconic trend from the 90’s that never went away. This is an easy and free pattern that you can use to make an average Adult size crochet bucket hat. The hat is worked from top down, in continuous rounds, meaning you don’t have to join the rounds with a slip stitch. The stitch used is the "x" shape single crochet. You will find the instructions in the pattern for that as well. As for the yarn, you will need worsted weight (#4) with a 5.00 mm (US H) crochet hook."
