The Flower Bucket Hat

Pattern by Pam Carr 2025

 

Introducing the Flower Bucket Hat from Carroway Crochet. I fell in love with crochet Bucket Hats and have been exploring making them in as many ways as I can.

This simple version with added flowers has proven very popular at the market where I sell my items.

It is made with mainly the double crochet stitch. There are half double crochets and single crochets used in the brim.

The Flower Bucket Hat seen above uses just two colours, but you can customize your hat and have a multi coloured version and even add stripes of colour to your brim. The sky is the limit.

Size: Teen/Adult

Finished Hat Size: 18”-23“/ 51-56 cm in circumference. 9” tall including the brim.

Supplies you will need:

Yarn: One skein of worsted weight yarn (approximately 150-175 yds), in your main colour and scraps of white worsted weight yarn for your flowers.

Hook: size, H/8-5.00mm
Notions: Tapestry needle and scissors.

Gauge: 10 dc – 7 dc  rows = 4” (10 cm) 

Abbreviations (uses US conventions)

• Ch = chain

• st = stitch

• sc = single crochet

• dc = double crochet

• hdc =  half double crochet

• ss = slip stitch

• scblo = single crochet back loop only.

• Scflo = single crochet front loop only

• Rnd – round

This pattern uses US terminology. The US and UK crochet terms are different, but they use the same terms to describe different stitches. Here is a simple conversion chart for anyone in the UK.

US Double Crochet (dc) Half Double Crochet (hdc) Single crochet (sc) Single crochet back loop only (scblo) Single crochet front loop only (scflo)

UK Treble Crochet (tr) Half Treble Crochet (htr) Double crochet (dc) Double Crochet back loop only (dcblo) Double crochet front loop only(dcflo)

My YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/CarrowayCrochet,  is a great resource for video tutorials for:

• how to single crochet,

• how to do the back loop only stitch and the front loop only stitch

• and more.

Instructions:

This hat is worked in the round.
Please note that the Ch 2 worked at the beginning of a Round does not count as a stitch.
Do not turn at the end of each Round

Round 2: ch2, 2dc into the first st, *dc into each of the next 4 st, 2dc into the next st, * repeat between * and * until you get to the end of the round and join to the top of the ch2 with a sl st.

Round 3: ch1, 2hdc in first st, *hdc in each of the next 3 st, 2hdc into the next st,*  repeat between * and * until you get to the end of the round and join to the top of the ch1 with a sl st. (there will be an odd number of hdc when you get to the end, but that is ok)

Round 4: Ch 1, *2 sc in first st, sc in each of the next 10 sts, * Repeat between * and * to the end of the round. Join with a slst to top of ch1

Round 5:  Ch 1, 2 sc in first, sc in next 13 sts.* Repeat between * and * to the end of the round. Join with a slst to top of ch1.

Fasten off and weave in the ends.

NOTE: To make a longer brim just keep adding rows.
