Crochet Striped Bucket Hat Recipe – How to Make a Striped Bucket Hat?

Welcome knitting lovers! We are starting our series on the Recipe Fairies Blog!

I'm Kedygurumi. In my first recipe blog post, I'll share with you how to make my favorite bucket hat. If you want to knit a bucket hat that suits the summer season very well and is a favorite with its comfortable use, you're in the right place. I'm sure it's a hat everyone would want to knit with its striped and colorful model.

Materials

• Cotton threads in blue, green, pink, yellow, orange, white. I used Etrofil Bio Cotton thread in this model. It is an ideal thread for this model because it has recycled cotton content and is thicker than other cotton threads.
• Color codes: Blue (10201), Green (10601), Pink (10505), Yellow (10406). White (10401)
• We will knit with a 3.00 mm crochet hook.

Body Information

• This recipe is knitted in adult size to fit a head circumference of 56-58 cm.
• If you want to knit with a head circumference of 60 cm, you can increase the top of the hat by one more row.
• If you are knitting for a small child, you can knit the top part in fewer rows depending on the size of their head. I also knitted a small hat in 0-6 month size, like the one in the photo.

Abbreviations

• ZN = Chain
• CC = Slip stitch
• DC = Double crochet (You can find its construction in our blog post titled “Knitting Techniques for Beginners”)
• V = Increase stitch

Important Notes

• We must not forget to make two chains when starting each new row and to make a slip stitch in the top stitch of the first double crochet at the end of each row.
• We will also change the color while slipping the stitch.

Let's get started!

Crochet Striped Bucket Hat Making

Row 1 with white: Let's make 16 DC (double crochet) into the magic ring. Let's finish the row by slipping a stitch into the first crochet. Let's not forget to take our new color while slipping. Let's start a new row by pulling 2 chains. We will do this in every row.

2nd Row with pink color: Let's increase 16 times. In other words, let's knit two double crochets in each stitch. At the end of the row, our stitch count will be 32 DC (double crochets).

Row 3 with blue color: Let's repeat this 16 times: 1 double crochet, 1 increase. At the end of the row, we will have increased 16 stitches and there will be 48 DC.

Row 4 with yellow: Let's repeat this 16 times: 2 double crochets, 1 increase. At the end of the row, we will have increased 16 stitches and there will be 64 DC.

Green color 5th Row: Let's repeat this 16 times: 3 double crochets , 1 increase. At the end of the row, we will have increased 16 stitches and there will be 80 DC.

Row 6 with white color: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing.

Pink color 7th Row: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing

Row 8 with blue color: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing .

Row 9 with yellow: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing .

Green color 10th Row: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing

Row 11 with white color: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing .

Row 12 with pink color: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing .

Row 13 with blue color: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing .

Row 14 with yellow: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing .

Green color 15th Row: Let's knit 80 double crochets without increasing

Now we move on to the brim of the hat and start increasing again.

Row 16 with white: Let's repeat this 16 times until the end of the row: 4 double crochets, 1 increase. In the end, there will be 96 double crochets.

With pink color, Row 17: Let's do 16 times: (5 DC, 1 V). There will be 112 DC.

Row 18 with green: Let's make 16 times (6 DC, 1 V). There will be 128 DC.

Row 19 with blue: Let's make 16 times (7 DC, 1 V). There will be 144 DC.

That's it! When we reach the end of the row, let's slip a stitch, remove the yarn from the stitch and cut it.

Our bucket hat is ready! This is how it looks on my head. It can also be used by folding the front brim. I really like how it looks wavy when viewed from the front. What do you think of this model?

I have also knitted this hat in different colors. I am adding different color samples to the photos below. You can also color it as you wish according to your own taste.
