Crochet Bucket Hat Patterns
Crochet bucket hat patterns start with a flat circle for the crown, then work straight sides without increases, and finish with an increased brim that flares outward. Cotton yarn gives structure and stays cool in summer. Single crochet or half double crochet produces the firm fabric needed for a brim that holds its shape.

How do you make a crochet bucket hat brim stiff?
Make a bucket hat brim stiff by using cotton yarn, a smaller hook, and dense single crochet, then adding a final round of reverse single crochet or slip stitches. For extra structure, work over a strand of craft cord or lightly starch the brim.
