This mini Sun Hat is about the size 3.5″ diameter brim to brim, and I crochet it with my stashed raffia yarn, a leftover from my various raffia crochet patterns.

It is a quick-to-complete crochet pattern that you can whip up a few hats in a day.

Make it for your doll, crochet animals, or the little rodent pets, and it is also a perfect accessory for Barbie Doll.

Apart from making for dolls, it can be attached to a hook and made into bag charms and keychains, too, great as a little gift to friends and colleagues.

As you already noticed that this mini sun hat has a horizontal “V” knit-like stitch, don’t get freak-out, it is, in fact, a variation of a single crochet stitch. This beautiful stitch is called “single crochet at the horizontal bar or the 3rd loop” or single crochet camel stitch in the round. Read further to get the instructions on how it is crocheted. 

I am in love with this stunning new stitch, and I am thinking of crocheting a real-size tote with it and, perhaps, a sun hat too.

Look, who is the little pinkie at the back lurking for the sun hat and tote? She is the crochet Hippo waiting for her dressing-up session.

Happy Crochet.

Update: A few years after creating this tiny hat crochet pattern, I made three sun hats for my old garden ducklings. I gave them a fresh coat of paint before starting. This time, I used two strands of raffia yarn and crochet with a 4.5 mm hook to make the hats slightly larger than the original pattern. Additionally, I skipped the bow band on the hat’s ninth round, making the hat one round shorter on the crown to fit the ducklings’ heads properly. Hope this will inspire you to crochet something similar for your garden figurines soon.

More Details on how to crochet the Mini Sun Hat

variation single crochetAs the crochet pattern is calling for a variation of single crochet stitch: single crochet at a horizontal bar or 3rd loop (sc hb), here is the detail on how to crochet it.

This is the front side of the “sc hb” single crochet stitch variation. 

tiny hatThis is the back.

If you compare it to normal single crochet, you may notice the difference as this variation has no horizontal bar (round 1 and 2) at the back of the crochet piece.

tiny hatIn a normal single crochet stitch, we insert our hook under the 2 loops (the V) on the top of the last round. However, for this horizontal bar variation, we insert the hook into the horizontal bar or the 3rd loop at the back of the crochet piece (as shown in the picture). By doing this, we push the 2 top loops to the front and that’s where the “knit-like-V” forms.

tiny hatAnother view of where to insert the hook.

It is just like how you do the single crochet stitch just that you are drawing yarn over from the horizontal bar or the 3rd loop at the back of the crochet piece.

When the pattern calls for an increase, just make 2 single crochet stitches into the same horizontal bar.

If you have difficulty understanding this explanation, search “single crochet in 3rd loop” on Youtube for a video.
