Crochet Straw Hat Pattern

Isn’t it summer hot and sunny? Some of you enjoy the sunbeam, but I am not, too bad, huh~~~ I need to make a Crochet Straw Hat to cover and protect my head and face… in fact, I need this all year round over here. The sun’s UV rays are harmful, and they will cause serious illness to us if we are exposed to the sun for too long.

I like this crochet straw hat because it has a big brim that able to cover my head, face, ears and the back of the neck. Save me from getting sunburn and skin damage under the sun. Also, without the glare from the sun, my eyes get some degree of protection too.

This straw wide brim sun hat matches the straw beach bag perfectly (click the link to go to the tutorial on how to crochet the beach bag). Upon finishing the beach bag, I have to get extra raffia yarn to make this sun hat, love the finishing that the raffia yarn gave. The flower brooch on the hat is from the leftover raffia yarn from this hat, and I also bought some green yarn to make the petal (pattern and tutorial here).

The Straw Hat pattern is crochet from raffia yarn, Raffia With Passion, with a 3.5 mm crochet hook in single crochet stitches (crochet on the back loop only), work from the crown to brim. After that, crochet back from brim to the crown with surface crochet method on the front loop of the stitches.

The crochet technique is the same as the straw beach bag, a 2 layer crochet by using the back loop and front loop of a stitch respectively for each layer. You may refer to the tutorial on how to crochet it in the straw beach bag. This technique creates a nice rustic ridge texture to the straw hat.

To crochet this beautiful raffia straw hat pattern, you need to have some basic crochet knowledge to get it done. There are plenty of Youtube videos on how to crochet the basic stitches written in this pattern, so go ahead to try it out.

Hope you have a great time to make this crochet straw hat!
