Wheatfield Crochet Sun Hat
The Wheatfield Crochet Sun Hat is a breezy, textured sun hat worked from the top down in crisp cotton yarn. It features a signature Wheat Stitch band that adds a touch of woven texture right where the crown meets the brim, making every hat look a little more handcrafted and a little more special.
Worked in continuous rounds starting from a magic ring at the crown, this hat grows outward through the crown increases, then works even for the sides before the Wheat Stitch band is added. After the band, you’ll increase again to shape the brim to your preferred width. An optional plastic-coated wire enclosed in the final round keeps the brim crisp and sun-ready all season long. With seven sizes from newborn to large adult, there’s a Wheatfield for every head in your life.
