Very pretty! What do you mean by <i>"This pattern is worked through both loops"</i>? Thank you!
Some patterns are worked through the front loop, some are worked through the back loop, but most, like this one, are worked under both loops 🙂
Hi thanks so much for the free pattern I love the look of this hat. One question does each round at the top start with a ch2?
Thank you so much for the free pattern! This is a beautiful little hat and was very fun to make!

Thanks for this free pattern. The sun hat is absolutely adorable. I'm a beginner and I've tried a few of your patterns and I love them all. Very easy to do and instructions are very easy to follow. <br /><br />For this sun hat, do you have any recommendations for fitting a 1-yr-old? Thanks!!
I am a beginner, and need to know if you could give me any guidance to make this hat for an adult.<br /><br />I love everything about this hat!!! Thank You!<br />
I made this hat with Lily Sugar and Cream. It turned out huge, too big for me even and I was hoping to give it to my 3 yr old granddaughter. I have a tight stitch so I don't usually things I make are too small, not too large. What kind of cotton yarn did you use?
Hi, Beth. Any chance you skipped just one stitch rather than 2 on your first round of shells?
I used Lily sugar and crème also. It was definitely too small for an adult. I need a way to make it an adult size. As a beginner, I don't know how to do that. Thanks to anyone who responds…..
Hello, this hat pattern is really beautiful and it's exactly what I was looking for. I just need to make is in much smaller size. My daughter's head circumference is 41 cm, so I would like to adjust it to 6-12 months baby size. Could you please let me know if it would be possible and how? Should I just take smaller hooks or remove some rounds?<br />I would really appreciate your help on
Thank you for making this pattern printable accessible.
I love this hat! I would love to make it for my 15 month old daughter who wears hearing aids. This would be perfect for her because of the brim which would allow room for the hearing aids! If you could help with making this in a smaller size I would really appreciate it!!!
I love this hat and it works up quite quickly, however, I too made this hat in Lily Sugar n Cream. It is large enough to fit me. I also made it in Permiee Yarns Home Cotton and it is quite a bit smaller. Next I will try a DK cotton.
For those of you wanting different sizes would it not work to change your needle sizes down or up according to the way in which you want to go?
Hi,
I’ve just tried to crochet this hat and I love the design. But I have some problem when it comes to the brim part. My brim turns out to be very curvy/wavy and it doesn’t flow like how it looks like in your photo. Any advise? Other than the brim, the hat is perfect!
Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Thank you Lauren for sharing your art. I’m looking forward to making this cute hat for my 3 yr old granddaughter for her tea parties with her 3year old cousin.. Now to fine a dress!
Definitely too big using sugar n cream or Lily n cream cotton yarn with the j and k hook. I wanted this for toddler and its more large adult size.
For those trying to make the hat smaller. I use Premier Yarns Cotton, it’s a #2 Fine Yarn, 3.50 oz ball, the finished hat took less than 1 ball, and I used size H instead of J and size G instead of I, and my finished hat came out to be a toddler size 2-4 years. I’m going to make another dropping 2 more sizes and see what size hat that makes, I’m trying to get infant sizes, I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for the pattern ins awesome and I finished the hat in a few hours and I’m a relatively new crocheter.
