Floppy Shell Brim Sun Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Floppy Shell Brim Sun Hat Crochet Pattern by Crochet For You

This easy beginner friendly sun hat pattern for summer is inspired by the yarn I ordered. I believe the tape yarn is really perfectly great for making sun hats for everyday use so I chose the Lion Brand Rewind yarn to make my own sun hat.

This pattern is

• beginner friendly
• easy to follow and
• great for everyday use when you go out in the summertime.

The body of the hat is worked with single crochet and not joined after each round. The floppy shell Brim gives the hat feminine look and protects your eyes from the sun rays.
