Ah HAH! I knew I would run across this pattern if I poked around long enough…!

I saw this hat pattern in the 2007 Crochet A Day calendar as the “Tiffany Bucket Hat.” I then made one for myself the week after I bought the calendar, and that’s become my official Christmas Shopping hat – Lion Brand’s Covered Bridge red (Homespun) with a green Christmas tree pin on it. It’s so cool that even the guys in the hardware department at the local Home Depot notice it.

This year I needed a few Christmas gifts quick, and I dug up this pattern again. I made one for almost everyone, each with a different yarn from a chenille type to a double-strand of light worsted-weight. The great thing I discovered is that as I varied the yarn, this pattern made a totally different hat every time. No one would even have guessed their hats were all from the same pattern!

Now all my friends keep borrowing my copy to make hats… so I keep losing it! Now I finally know where it is and next time I get my pattern back and someone else wants a copy, I will send them here (instead of losing mine)!

Thanks again for an awesome pattern!

  I am so happy to hear you love the pattern! I’ve lost my original hat that I used for the design and have been trying to decide which yarn to use for its replacement. I may have to try Homespun because I love the color play in their yarns.

I just finished my bucket hat using Red Heart Super Saver in Camouflage….it looks awesome! So simple and fast…..the type of projects I like! Plan to make more, just need to decide what color yarn to use next.
I think there needs to be a correction on your pattern…Row 5 (32 sc)
Thanks for the pattern….its a “keeper”!!

What is it “work cross-stitch around” on row 16?

Hi Tiffany,
Started making my mom a hat with your pattern but now that I am starting the brim, I have to question the directions. On the 25-29 rows, are there no increases? I would think there would be but it does not state to do so.

I’ve no idea how long it will take you to answer my e-mail so I am going to go ahead with it and follow the row 24 instructions, only going through both loops, not just the front. That gives me some increases each row. Hope it works out. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks. Sherry

Hi Tiffany,
No need to write me back. I immediately found that my idea would not work, (what was I thinking?). But I did increase one of the rows some, maybe 12 and added the rest of the rows sc into sc. It just gave it a slight wavy look.
I made the hat with a yarn that my mom had picked out, Red Heart Super Saver in the Buff Fleck color, perfect for this hat. I did the last row in “moss stitch” which gave it an interesting edge as I’m always thinking outside the box.
Your hat pattern is very cute. Thanks, Sherry

I have already made two of these hats, and had planned to use them for Christmas gifts this year. AND THEN, I lost the pattern. Yes, I know, I should have remembered the basics, but I didn’t. I have searched the internet for about and hour and finally came across it. Thank goodness. Thanks for providing it for free!
