Free Crochet Sun Hat Patterns

Whether you live at the equator or simply love the look of crochet sun hats, we've got a free pattern for you.

From fedoras to granny square bucket hats, you might notice we love using single crochet in our sun hat patterns. That's because the closed nature the stitch lends itself extremely well to crocheting structured, yet packable hats.

PRO TIP: Each of the crochet sun hat patterns you find below will include instructions for checking your gauge. (This is essentially how tight or loose your stitches are compared to the pattern.)

Don't skip this step! Meeting the pattern gauge is particularly necessary when crocheting sun hats because the fit is important.
