Embodying all the summer chill vibes, this is the pattern for my Check In Bucket Hat. A tapestry crochet bucket hat inspired by checkered beach umbrellas, the relaxation experienced on a summer get-away, and the satisfaction of pairing different two-color combinations. Experiment with a special tonal colorway that’s been giving you heart eyes, or choose a multicolor palette to jazz it up, and wip it out for your next sip and stitch or “gift in a pinch” situation.
