The weekend newspaper featured a crochet bucket, one of “Fab Five” summer hats presented by Rebecca Tay. The powdery pastel rainbow colours remind me of fun childhood chalk and sidewalk hopscotch. I created a similar hat in a warm beige tweedy blend of merino wool, cashmere, and silk. Different but similar.
The Rolled Brim Bucket Hat and Everyday Bucket Hats below are started with a “magic circle” and crocheted in a continuous spiral from the top down. The result is a seamless hat with a neat finish.
The short brim and bell shape of the Everyday Bucket Hat has a playful aesthetic and looks especially good on women with short hair. The hat is more fitted and resembles a 1920s cloche or flapper hat. Cotton cashmere makes this hat a soft and easy care option.
