Nothing says summer like a handmade patriotic hat! The Patriotic Bucket Hat is crocheted top-down in single crochet with tapestry color work creating bold red and white stripes and a navy blue canton. White stars are embroidered onto the canton after finishing — a numbered point diagram and detailed instructions (including a video tutorial!) make this totally approachable even if you’ve never done surface embroidery before.

Sized for the whole family — Newborn/6 Months through Adult XL — and worked in Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton for a soft, washable finish that’s perfect for summer wear.
