            \ud83e\uddf5 Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udd18 Part 1: Crochet the Crown (Top Circle)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            This part is worked in continuous rounds<\/strong> (do not join unless instructed). Use a stitch marker to keep track of your first stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            R1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Start with a magic ring (MR)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Ch 2 (does not count as dc), work 12 dc into the ring<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Tighten and continue to next round
              (12 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              R2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • 2 dc in each st around
                (24 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                R3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • (1 dc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                  (36 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  R4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • (2 dc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                    (48 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    R5:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • (3 dc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                      (60 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      R6:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • (4 dc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                        (72 sts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        \ud83d\udc49 Stop increasing when the circle is about 6.5\u20137 inches (16.5\u201318 cm)<\/strong> in diameter for adult size. You may need to add one more round of increases depending on your yarn and gauge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \ud83e\udde2 Part 2: Crochet the Body (Hat Sides)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        Now that you\u2019ve finished increasing, it\u2019s time to build the sides of the hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        R7\u2013R15 (or until 4\u20135\u201d in height):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • dc in each st around<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Optional: Use an openwork stitch<\/strong> like dc, ch 1, skip 1<\/em>, repeat for a breezier texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          You can alternate between solid and openwork rows to keep it stylish and breathable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n

                          Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          • R7: dc in each st around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • R8: (dc, ch 1, skip 1)<\/em> repeat<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • R9: dc in each ch-1 space and dc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                            Repeat these for a stylish lacy look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \ud83d\udc52 Part 3: Crochet the Brim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            The brim gives your bucket hat its classic summer style and offers sun protection. You\u2019ll start increasing again to flare it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            R1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            • (6 dc, inc)<\/em> repeat around
                              (Increase evenly)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                              R2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                \n
                              • dc in each st around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                R3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                  \n
                                • (7 dc, inc)<\/em> repeat around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                  R4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                    \n
                                  • dc in each st around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                    Repeat increasing every second round. You can stop when the brim measures about 2.5\u20133 inches<\/strong> (6\u20137.5 cm) or longer for a wider sun hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Optional Edging (For a Clean Finish)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                      \n
                                    • Work a round of sl st or reverse sc (crab stitch)<\/strong> around the edge of the brim for structure and polish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
