Say hello to sunny days in style with the Sunlit Bucket Hat. As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, spring brings with it the promise of warmth—and the need for reliable sun protection. If you’re like me, you want a hat that not only shields you from the sun but also works with your wardrobe.
That’s exactly why I designed the Sunlit Bucket Hat. It’s a simple yet stylish accessory that’s as functional as it is fashionable, making it a must-have for spring and summer adventures.

Lightweight, breathable, and beginner-friendly.
This crochet bucket hat is made using two strands of yarn held together, giving it extra durability and enhancing its sun protection factor.
The fabric remains airy and comfortable for warm-weather wear while maintaining structure. The pattern is worked in joined rounds with a “ch 3” that always counts as 1 dc + 1 ch, resulting in a seamless, polished finish.
You’ll love how relaxing and straightforward this project is to crochet!
A go-to accessory for any sunny outing.
Whether you’re tending the garden, heading to the beach, or strolling through your local farmers market, this bucket hat is up for the job.
It’s easy to pair with casual or dressy outfits and folds flat, making it travel-friendly too. With its classic silhouette and comfortable fit, you’ll find yourself reaching for this handmade favorite again and again.
