Warmer weather is coming and this free crochet granny stitch sun hat pattern is the perfect beach hat to add to your summer wardrobe.
The Chloe crochet sun hat pattern with video tutorial includes all different sizes from baby to child to adult and is my favourite floppy hat to make for any little girl.
Although not made using the iconic granny squares typically associated with the term ‘granny’ this sun hat features granny shells made from the same double crochet stitches but with a unique twist.
This pattern is a great option for beginner crocheters who want to try their hand at the stylish crochet shell stitch without the complexity of traditional granny squares.
While I love the look of granny squares I wanted something that was going to work up quicker. I know, I can hear it now. “But Cyp… that huge brim that isn’t quick.” And to that I say… True oh so true! BUT you don’t need to make the brim that big – more on that later.

This sun hat is started by working single crochet increase rounds from the crown of the hat – and this is what makes the sizing of this pattern so easy! With the ability to increase at every round it takes the guesswork out of sizing crochet granny squares. And if you have followed me for any length of time I think you know by now I LOVE EASY!
When I think of crochet summer hats I think of a wide brim and protection from the sun. I think of little kids playing on the beach wearing floppy sun hats and how the hats get tossed around. This is why I have only added wire the the adult hats and made the toddler size with the floppy brim and I feel it is safer to omit the wire for little ones.
This hat isn’t just for summer though, made with either acrylic or cotton yarn, this hat is also great for those transitional months when the weather is getting warmer or cooler.

Best yarn for this pattern
Cotton yarn
When it comes to making summer hats, cotton yarn is a great choice because it’s breathable and lightweight. Here are a few cotton yarns that I recommend for making summer hats:
- Lily Sugar ‘n Cream: This affordable 100% cotton yarn comes in a wide range of colors and is great for making hats that can withstand wear and tear. It’s easy to work with and machine washable.
- Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton: This mercerized cotton yarn is both durable and breathable, making it a great choice for summer hats. It comes in a range of bright and pastel colors and has a slight sheen that adds a touch of elegance to your project.
No matter which cotton yarn you choose, make sure to check the recommended hook size and gauge before you start your project to ensure that you get the right tension and fit for your summer hat.
Acrylic Yarn
The closed-top design with insulating properties will keep you warm and toasty when the snow starts to fall. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love easy-care yarn that won’t shrink in the wash? But hold on tight – save the acrylic yarn for winter! Its insulating properties make it less-than-ideal for summer wear, as it can lead to some serious overheating.
Remember, the type of yarn you choose can make or break your crochet project. Whether you’re going for the ultimate winter hat with acrylic yarn or a cool and comfortable summer beanie with cotton, consider the season and how you’ll wear it.
Substituting yarn
When substituting yarns for a crochet pattern, it’s crucial to keep the gauge as close as possible to the original yarn. Gauge refers to the number of stitches and rows in a given area of the crochet fabric, and it affects the size and shape of the finished project.
If the gauge of the substitute yarn is significantly different from the original yarn, the project’s feel and look may be affected. To ensure that the finished project looks and feels as close to the original design as possible, make a swatch with the substitute yarn and compare it to the original yarn swatch to match the gauge.
Be sure to visit www.yarnsub.com to help you choose the right substitute.
What’s the best yarn for a crochet sun hat?
For me, cotton is the way to go! Not only is it durable and able to withstand frequent washing, but it’s also breathable, which means you won’t have to worry about feeling sweaty and uncomfortable in the sun.
Plus, with so many colours and textures to choose from, you can easily find a cotton yarn that matches your personal style and the look of your sun hat. Trust me, using cotton yarn will help you create a beautiful and functional sun hat that will make heads turn!
Recommended Cotton Yarns
If you’re making this project and wondering what yarn to use, I’ve got you covered! I almost always reach for worsted weight 100% cotton yarns—they’re durable, absorbent, and hold up beautifully over time. Whether you’re making home decor, accessories, or baby items, these cottons are a great choice.
Bernat Handicrafter Cotton
The Bernat Handicrafter Cotton—thick, sturdy, and great for washcloths, coasters, and more. It has a matte texture and a dense feel, which gives your stitches really nice definition. If you’ve used it before, you know it’s a solid workhorse yarn.
Knit Picks Dishie
Dishie is probably the closest match to Handicrafter in terms of texture and weight. It’s a worsted weight 100% cotton that’s slightly smoother than Handicrafter, but still super durable. It also comes in a huge range of colours.
Lily Sugar’n Cream
Another long-time favourite, is Lily Sugar’n Cream in both weight and texture. It’s also 100% cotton and super sturdy, with a slightly more rustic feel. It works up nicely for everything from dishcloths to baskets and is widely available in stores.
You can’t go wrong with any of these! If you’re not sure what to choose, Knit Picks Dishie is a top pick when people want something super close to Bernat Handicrafter, especially for beginner-friendly projects.

How to care for your crochet sun hat.
Once you’ve crocheted your sun hat, it’s important to take care of it properly to ensure it lasts for many summers to come. Hand washing with mild detergent and lukewarm water is the way to go, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the yarn fibres.
Reshape your sun hat and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. And if it loses its shape, don’t worry! You can use an iron to reshape it, just don’t scorch or melt the yarn fibres. With proper care and maintenance, your crochet sun hat will be your go-to accessory for all your summer activities.

A gauge swatch is vital for a well-fitting crochet hat. It determines stitch tension and measures the number of stitches and rows. Comparing it to the pattern’s gauge ensures the final hat fits as desired. Adjust hook or tension if needed for a perfectly fitting hat.
To do a crochet gauge swatch using a single crochet stitch, start by using the same type of yarn and crochet hook that you plan to use for your hat.
Begin crocheting a square approximately 4” x 4” using the single crochet stitch, making sure to maintain an even tension throughout. Once your swatch is complete, measure it using a ruler or measuring tape to determine the number of stitches and rows per inch.
Even though the hat is made using a different stitch, this gauge swatch will give you an idea of how your tension will affect the overall size of your finished product.

Notes
This hat will be worked in rounds, use a marker in first stitch of each round to indicate the beginning of each round.
When working rounds of single crochet all loops between crossed cluster should be picked up. See reference photo below.
Options for Finishing Brim
After completing your crochet hat with a floppy brim, it’s time to give it a finishing touch. First, make sure to weave in all the ends to give your project a neat appearance.
Ultimately, the method you choose will depend on your personal preference and the look you’re going for with your sun hat.
Using a fabric stiffener or starch spray will provide added structure and help the hat maintain its shape. However, this is recommended for baby and toddler sizes only. The brim is quite large so a stiffening spray will do little to hold the brim up on the adult size.
Also note that the stiffener will need to be reapplied after washing.
By following these finishing steps, you can create a crochet hat that looks great and can be worn for many seasons to come.
Fabric stiffener spray (smaller sizes only)
The white baby sun hat was treated with fabric stiffener spray, which made the brim stiff but still lightweight and flexible.
If you want your hat to have a bit more structure and hold its shape better, you can use a fabric stiffener or starch spray. Fabric stiffener is a liquid product that is applied to fabric or yarn to make it firmer and more rigid. The product works by coating the fibres of the fabric or yarn and drying to create a stiff layer.
To use fabric stiffener on your hat, simply spray it onto the brim of the hat and let it dry completely. Once the product dries, it will create a stiff layer that will help the brim hold its shape. This is particularly useful for hats that are intended to be worn frequently, as it will help the brim stay in place and prevent it from drooping or becoming misshapen over time.
Do nothing and enjoy (smaller sizes only)
The pink and purple sun hat were made without any wire or fabric stiffener, giving it a more casual and floppy look.
Wire Edging – A must for the adult size
If you are adding wire to the brim this will need to be done while working the final round of the brim regardless of which size you are making.
The cream adult sun hat was stiffened with wire, which gave it a more structured and formal look.
Use wire or floral stem: You can insert a piece of wire or a floral stem around the edge of the brim to help it hold its shape. Simply insert the wire or stem into the crochet stitches along the edge of the brim and shape it as desired.
Wire edging
Measure around brim of hat and then cut wire allowing for a 3-4 inch overlap. We will trim this at the end, it is better to have extra wire so that it is easier to work with.
Work sc around the wire in each single crochet around, stopping before you work the last 8 – 10 stitches.
At this point you want to secure the wire and this can be done a number of ways. Pick which ever works best for you. My favourite method is using the hot glue gun but all work well.
Securing wire in place
No matter the method you choose this next step is important. We need to mark the wire so that when we are securing it, it stays the exact size that it needs to be.
This is really easy, but there are just a couple of steps to make sure to get it in the right place.
Step 1. Lay your hat flat, and smooth the brim down with your hands. The goal here is to make sure that the wire is completely covered in sc. Your brim will still be rippled and not completely flat so do your best to make sure it is covered.
Step 2. Make sure the wires are over lapping at least one inch.
Step 3. Get a permanent marker and mark both wires in the middle of the overlap.
Step 4. Trim wires so that the overlap is no larger than 1” to 1 ½”.
At this point, you will want to choose the method of securing the wire in place. The two I recommend are either the floral tape or hot glue.
When using the hot glue, you will need to hold the wire in place as it cools and starts to set. I did the top part of the wire, then flipped the hat over to do the underside next.
If you are using the tape, start in the middle where we marked with the black marker and work to each end wrapping the tape continually around the wire until then ends are covered. You want to make sure that there are no sharp ends exposed.
Once you have worked to one end, cut the tape and start from the middle again working back to the opposite end.
Once the wire is secure, continue to work sc around the unfinished stitches of the round.
This method requires one additional finishing round.
For the final round, work a spike stitch or long single crochet into round all the way around the brim. Fasten off.
