Sweet Sun Hat Knitting Patterns

July 19, 2023 by Sarah White

I don’t really like wearing hats, but my husband wears his sun hat all the time, even when we’re just going on a quick walk around the neighborhood. I know I should wear one, too, but maybe I just need to knit myself one so I’ll be encouraged to wear it?

These sun hat knitting patterns are great for keeping the sun off and adding a bit of knitterly style when it might be to hot to wear other knits.

Cheryl Toy’s Fais Do-Do Hat is a wide-brimmed hat worked in raffia yarn to make it bendable. You can wear it with sides straight like a garden hat or fold up the edges as needed. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

A similar style worked in cotton yarn can be found in the bucket hat pattern from Lauren Aston Designs on Etsy. It has two size options and uses a bulky cotton yarn.

Another cute cotton sun hat comes from Kim Hamlin via Lion Brand Yarn. The specific yarn she used is discontinued, but any worsted weight cotton will work to make this pattern, which has two sizes for adults.

Janet Stimson’s Rainbow Red Sun Hat has a cloche shape and is worked in DK weight yarn. It has a sweet little flower on the side, which you can leave off if that’s not your style. This one is a free Ravelry download and is sized for babies through adults.

Keep things simple with a garter stitch bucket hat from Make and Do Crew on Etsy. It uses cotton yarn and comes in four sizes to fit almost everyone in the family.

The Base Sun Hat by Natasha Gizamova is a sweet little bucket hat with a I-cord tie to help with the fit. It’s worked with DK weight yarn and comes in six sizes to fit babies up to about 7-year-olds. You can find it on Ravelry.

Lorna Pearman’s Great Grand Sun Hat was in fact designed for her great-grandson, but there are a few size options now. Its motifs are reminiscent of a day at the beach, and it’s worked in DK weight cotton yarn. The pattern is on Ravelry.

A Sun Hat from Tree Frog Knits was also made for a baby first and then sized up for bigger people. It uses worsted weight yarn and is sized for babies through adults.

If you’re looking for a sun hat that’s not a full bucket hat, check out Chris de Longpré’s Sun Visor Hat on Ravelry. It uses DK weight yarn and is written for adults but you can adjust the size as needed.

Hiker Knits on Etsy has a fun bucket hat knitting pattern that uses a zigzag eyelet pattern that’s not only pretty, it provides a bit of airflow when you wear the hat. It calls for superfine yarn and comes in two sizes.
