A Little Air Up Here Please!
Okay, another hat. But this one has a bonus! Instead of sweltering under the hot summer sun with the hair under your hat getting damper by the minute, you can enjoy air-conditioned comfort with this little number. I used 11 plastic rings and crocheted around them, then joined them together into a ring. This “ring of rings” measures exactly 11″ around. If you need a bit more, you can loosen the joining stitches slightly by leaving a little space between each ring as you join them together. The shape here is of a bucket. If you prefer, you can tip the brim up for a more traditional sun hat look. As with Mein Hut, this hat is worked holding two strands of yarn together for stability. This pattern is written for a 21″ head but is a tiny bit snug in the ring area.

An air-conditioned hat? Wow! I’m all into that. Thanks for the cute pattern. I think this is going to be a hit with a lot of crocheters.

Thank you Wendy! This is nice for leftover yarn. It doesn’t take too much.

What a cool idea! I’ve been thinking of crocheting around some plastic rings (from orange juice jugs) but didn’t know how I’d use them. Nice job!

Thank you El. I’ve also got a tote in mind for those rings!

Hi Mary! Why don’t you just make several flower motifs, join them together and proceed with the pattern? I don’t know of any other hat with flowers. Have you looked on Ravelry?
