Crochet a bucket hat! This is the pattern we used for MDK Summer Camp 2022, an online event where over 100 knitters learned to crochet by making a hat together.

We’ve kept the design simple for newbies to crochet: there’s one size, and a sweet and simple video for learning how to get started. Add a skein of Creative Linen and a US G (4 mm) hook.

Here’s the video on getting started using the Magic Circle: https://vimeo.com/734062051?mc_cid=182e24da89&mc_eid=...

Worked in Creative Linen on a Size US G (4.0 mm) hook, the finished hat measures about 21″ in circumference and about 9″ from the starting round to the edge of the brim once it’s blocked.

Consider working the hat in a slightly heavier yarn, Rowan Handknit Cotton, or in thinner yarns, like Euroflax Mini-skeins and Summerlite 4ply, for customizing the fit of this design. (For thinner yarns, we’d also size down the hook.)
