ABOUT

There are no bad hair days with the Flower Market Bucket Hat. This fun, feminine design will add a whimsical, vintage feel to any summery outfit. A playful granny square panel spans the circumference of this hat, bringing a pop of color to an otherwise simple design. Named “Flower Market” since picking the colors for each flower feels like picking your floral bouquet at a flower market!

This is the sister pattern to the Flower Market Baby Blanket!

MATERIALS

Yarn: Worsted held double–Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton in 5 colorways “Ecru, Lime, Pink, Tangerine, Creamsicle”

  • 100% Cotton
  • 186 yds (170 m) per 3.5 oz (100 g) skein
  • Find this yarn on lionbrand.com or visit yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes

Yardage: 

  • Main Color (Ecru): 2 skeins or 235 yds (215 m)
  • Accent Color 1 (Lime): 1 skein or 15 yds (14 m)
  • Accent Color 2 (Pink): 1 skein or 15 yds (14 m)
  • Accent Color 3 (Tangerine): 1 skein or 15 yds (14 m)
  • Accent Color 4 (Creamsicle): 1 skein or 15 yds (14 m)

Substitute Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton with any similar medium, worsted weight (category #4) yarn that matches gauge. Cottons will work best for this project, particularly those that feel “stiff” to lend some structure to your finished hat. Note that worsted weight is often referred to as “aran” in the UK, or “10-ply” in Australia.

Hook: Size U.S. 7 (4.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

Notions: Tapestry needle, scissors, and 6 locking stitch markers (1 being distinct from the others to use for BOR marker), several more locking stitch markers to help hold work in place while seaming

PATTERN NOTES

Skill Level: Beginner

Sizing: This hat is sized for an average woman’s head circumference of 21-23” (53-58 cm); however, because it is not snug nor fitted tightly to the head, this hat will be appropriate for most adult head sizes.

Stitch Counts: Stitch counts are listed after each round.

Right Side / Wrong Side: The right side will face you for the entirety of this project.

Spiral: The solid sections of this hat (crown and brim) are worked in a spiral.

Yarn Held Double: The single crochet portion of this hat (the crown and the brim) is worked with the yarn held double, meaning two strands of yarn are held together as if they were one. The granny squares are worked single stranded.

Construction: This hat is crocheted seamlessly from the top down in a spiral. You will begin with the crown, increasing each round by 6 stitches. Then, you will create 6 granny squares, each with different color combinations. These squares are seamed together side-by-side to form a granny square loop which is then attached to the crown and forms the sides of the hat. Lastly, you will work a specified number of stitches into the bottom edge of your granny square loop to set yourself up to work the brim which has staggered increases to create a clean, perfectly rounded shape.

Color Combinations: Four accent colors are used within the granny square panel. The colored schematic below shows the combinations used in the sample; however, you can choose any arrangement that you like. You will have enough yardage for each of your colors that any color combination will work.
