I was so surprised to see in my comments for my Floppy Sun Hat post that someone actually requested to have my pattern! I was happy to remake this hat in order to provide a pattern for you! Please let me know if there are any problems or questions.
You will need two crochet hook sizes, worsted weight yarn, and a stitch marker. I used size K for the main part and size G for the brim.
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
pf st = puff stitch
Puff stitch: Yarn over, put the hook through the stitch, yarn over pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, put the hook through the stitch again, yarn over pull up another loop (5 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all five loops, ch 1 to secure the stitch.
Main part of hat:
With size K hook, start with a magic circle.
Rnd 1: Make 6 pf st in ring. join.
Rnd 2: ch 1, 1 pf st in the same stitch and each stitch around. join to top of first pf st. (11 pf st)
Rnd 3: ch 1, 1 pf st in same stitch and in each stitch around. join to top of first pf st. (21 pf st)
Rnd 4: ch 2, 1 pf st in next stitch (it will be the stitch in between the pf stitches) *skip next st, pf st in next st* repeat between *s around. join to top of ch 2. (21 pf st)
Rnd 5: ch 2, pf st in same stitch, *ch1, pf st in next stitch in between pf st* repeat around. join in top of 1st pf st. (21 pf st)
Rnd 6: ch 2, pf st in space between pf st, *ch1, pf st in next space between pf st* repeat around. join in top of 1st pf st. (21 pf st)
Rnd 7-12: repeat row 6.
Brim:
The brim is crocheted tightly with a G hook. If you have trouble crocheting tightly, use a size F hook. This is the tedious part and a little hard on the hands. After the first row, you won't be joining anymore, so the brim will be seamless. This is where your stitch marker will come in handy.
Rnd 1: ch 1, *2 sc in space between pf st, 1 sc in top of next pf st* repeat around. join in 1st sc.
Rnd 2: ch 1, 2 sc in each stitch around. mark your last stitch.
Rnd 3: 1 sc in each stitch around. move your marker to this row.
Rnd 4: *1 sc in next 15 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* repeat around. 2 sc in last stitch, move marker.
Rnd 5: *1 sc in next 16 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* repeat around. 2 sc in last stitch, move marker.
Rnd 6: 1 sc in each stitch around, move marker.
Rnd 7: *1 sc in next 17 stitches, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. 2 sc in last stitch, move marker.
Rnd 8: *1 sc in next 18 stitches, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. 2 sc in last stitch, move marker.
Rnd 9: *1 sc in next 19 stitches, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. 2 sc in last stitch, move marker.
Rnd 10: 1 sc in each stitch around, move marker.
Rnd 11: repeat row 10.
You can end here or if you would like your brim wider, continue to make increase rows similar to rnds 7-9. Your next increase rnd will be *1 sc in next 20 st, 2 sc in next st.* Add rnds like 10 and 11 to keep the round shape.
I'd love to see your finished projects! I can even feature them on my blog if you'll allow it. Just email the pics to daperfectmix@gmail.com. If you don't want the pics to be on the blog, just let me know, but I would still like to see your projects.

This is so great! I've been looking for a pattern like this! I'll have to try this out in time for the beach next summer :)
Found you on Making Mondays Marvelous :)
I'm glad you like it! Send me pics if any of you make it.
Hi, your blog is cool! I really love this hat and thanks for taking the time to write instructions...
Thanks for sharing and keep in touch!
Thanks for sharing. A bookmark for sure.
P.S. Your newest follower!
Thanks for all the great comments!
Have you tried crocheting with the raffia? There are some great colors and this hat would be awesome done in the raffia. I made a purse from the raffia and was really happy with how it turned out. I think crochetasylum sells it if you're interested.
Thanks for the instructions. You did a great job.
I love this hat! It looks great. It is on my to try list.
What a sweet hat! We'd love for you to link up to our Saturday Spotlight party! nv-craftenvy.blogspot.com
Suesan -I've tried plastic bags but not the raffia. I've seen it before and they do have some nice colors. Maybe i'll pick some up!
Thanks Dee!
Craft Envy -I would love to link up to your Saturday Spotlight party! Thanks!

~Terrell @ Frou Frou Decor~
This is awesome! I LOVE it. I totally have to make myself one! Thanks!
Its awsome this hat, Do u have tutorials on Youtube?
I hope!!! Cause I wanted to do this but its hard to me to follow the pattern reading, also cause my english is not good.
Thanks to sharing you knowledge !!
Thank you for sharing. This is just what I wanted to make with some new linen yarn I just purchased.
Is it necessary to start with a magic loop? I can't seem to get the hang of that technique....
Hi Jessica, you don't have to use the magic loop. You can start with a chain 4 and join.
Thanks to everyone for all the lovely comments!
Hi there. I'm curious about row 3... how did you go from 11 st to 21 without increasing?
Thanks!! :)
Cute pattern!!
Hi Dean and Erin! You are increasing just like in the previous round. There is a stitch in between the puff stitches. Have you tried it yet? It will probably make more sense if you have it in front of you. Thanks for the comment and let me know if you need any more help.
I love your floppy hat and will be making it by spring! Thanks for beig so kind to share your pattern.
Just finished it... Love it!!! Added some ribbon and a huge flower with buttons... Can't wait to wear it and show it off.
Awesome, I'd love to see your finished projects too! I can even feature them on my blog if you'll allow it. Just email the pics to daperfectmix@gmail.com. If you don't want the pics to be on the blog, just let me know.
Hi its a great hat! Is it ok if I make and sell them at the local farmers martket? I can add a little tag with your name, as the author of the pattern.
Thanks for such a cute pattern!
I love this hat! I love the flower addition idea! I'm gonna start right now ;) I'll send you a pick when I'm done!
@Heather, I don't mind if you sell products from my patterns. I would greatly appreciate be acknowledged for the pattern.
@Zany, Great! I can't wait to see it!
I love it! Definitely going to give this one a go! Thank you for posting!
Just moved to Florida and boy do I need this pattern. Making it this weeeknd - I'll send you the pic. You are the best!!!!
Awesome! Can't wait to see it!
I love this pattern. I can't wait to try it. How much yard did you need to make the hat?
ADORABLE!!!!! BEST floppy brim hat I've ever seen a pattern for!!! :) I just need to know how much yarn you used. Thanks! :)
i've been looking for a wide brim hat for awhile now, i found a cloth one in a store the other day but the way it was made it has a draw string to tighten it up if needed but the way its made leaves a knot there to poke you in the head all the time and after thinking about it a minute i knew i couldn't put up with that knot for long so i didn't get it, but my mom hates the hat i've been wearing for years now but its so comfortable i just love it lol, anyway when i seen your wide brim hat i thought maybe i finally found something that might make mom happy and be comfortable for me :) lol i figure if i can find something mom likes maybe she will wear one too lol, anyway i just had to tell you i like your hat and i think mom will too :) thanks!!!
The hat is really cute, but I'm confused! In row 1 you have 6 stitches. In row two you say to do 1 stitch in each stitch around and you'll end up with 11 stitches. If you put one stitch in each 1 of 6 stitches, you still only have 6 stitches. Is this a typo, or am I just missing something?
Hi Lauren, I only counted the puff stitches at the end of each round. There is actually a stitch in between the puff stitches which is where you will see your increases.
If you are wearing perfect hat so you will get a fashionable looks.as above give fantastic Floppy Sun Hat Pattern.I like this hat.
Sun Hat
SO CUTE! I can't wait to start making this!! Thank you so much for sharing! This is just adorable!
I love you! This is the best floppy hat ever, I want to make it with a wider brim, I will send you my finished hat pics soon, love u love the hat, thank u! :-)
I'm so happy you love my pattern!! Lol! I can't wait to see pics.
I love the hat I am trying it today I hope it comes out well and thanks for sharing......
Hi, Love The Hat But Im Having A Hard Time After The 1st Row Because I See It As 12 pf st Instead Of 11. I Have Done It Over And Over And Get The Same Count :/ What Am I Doing Wrong?
Thanks
I love this hat! It has just the right amount of 'floppy' :) When you are doing your SC's, are you inserting your needle in the top of the stitch, middle or bottom? I'm new to crocheting, so if I make no sense please ignore me :) But from the few projects I've tried, that changes the look and I want mine to look just like your awesome hat! thanks!!!
for the main part of the hat, what do you mean when you say 'join' at the end of each row?
Thank you for all the comments/questions. I am currently working on a video for this pattern. The first part should be done by the end of this week. Thanks again, and come back soon!
sorry to bother, but whats the name of the video
The video is not yet complete. I will post it here when it is finished. It will probably be called Floppy Sun Hat Pattern.
thanks, can't wait to watch it!
I have been looking for a hat pattern like this that will allow my head to breathe but still shade my eyes! Thank you! I've already got my cotton yarn ready and will start this today.
Love love love this!! I have made like 10 of them for all my family!! It's just perfect! I modified it a little and made a smaller version for my daughter!! Fantastic!
Thanks!!
I tried to leave a comment on your you tube page but it doesn't look like it's activated yet, anyhow this sun hat is just gorgeous. I'm going to start it tonite!!! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Cute hat. I am making it for a 1 and 4 yr old but reducing yarn weight and hook size for infant. Do you have a pattern for the flower on the yellow floppy hat in one of the pictures posted on Ravelry for this pattern?
Hi Sarah,
Sorry, I can't publish the pattern for the flower. It's from the book “Crocheting School: A Complete Course” by Inc. Sterling Publishing Co. I first borrowed the book from the library then ended up ordering a copy from Amazon. Maybe you can find it in your local library.
I have tried attempting your hat twice already and for some reason this puff stitch is kicking my butt. this is only my first really project. i just noticed you had videos so i am going to watch those and try to do it from that.
hi
i was watching the videos and i noticed on the first magic ring with the six puff stitches it looked like you were ch1 between the puff stitches.... is that right?
and on round 2 are you going through the rear stitch or both stitches?
thanks
Yes, it feels like a ch1 between the puff stitches, but it's actually part of the puff stitch. so when you get to row 5 and 6 it will feel like you are chaining 2 in between your puff stitches. You will eith go through both loops per stitch or in the space between puff stitches in the later rounds. Thanks for your questions!
I participated in a secret swap on a crochet site that I'm on and we received this hat for my daughter. I'm in love with it!! She did an amazing job! I asked right away where she found this pattern. Thank you so much for posting this! My daughter has asked me to make her some in other colors and I plan to make some for Easter gifts and for a craft show coming up next month. I can't wait to get home and try it.
Someone asked how much yarn did you use to make the hat? Couldn't find an answer to that.
Oh, I thought I answered that here, but it was on Ravelry. Here was my comment on Ravelry: It takes more than one 2.5 oz (approx 120 yds) skein of Peaches & Creme cotton but less than two. I was actually able to make a small beanie with the leftover skein. I hope that helps. Sorry I don't have a more specific answer.
Great pattern! Thanks so much for sharing it. I linked to it on my blog this morning. :)
I would to make this hat but it is too much to copy by hand and it is too much paper to waste on all the comments. If you could make the pattern available by itself I would try to make the hat. I have 5GGD's who would love it. Patsy
Thanks for this pattern! I am going to Florida next month and have been looking at different hats to wear on the beach. Unfortunately, all the hats in the stores are too small for my large head. :( I think something like this will be perfect as I can make it just my size!
My hats keep are baby hats. I was making it for myself. My count comes out correct. I watched the video and tried again and I have two baby hats. I am not sure where I am going wrong. sybilcole@ymail.com thanks
I figured it out yeah now Ivan make a baby hat and an adult hat.
Amazing pattern. I was able to follow it and I am a "knitter". The videos are amazing. I made this hat in the Bernat Susan G. Komen cotton yarn as a test pattern. Am not a fan of Bernat cotton, so am going to make it again in a Cleo yellow yarn. Thank you so much for this pattern and the videos. <3
Oh this is an awesome pattern! I have been searching all over for fairly simple pattern for an adult size sun hat! My only question: What is the finished dimensions of the hat? I will also post pictures after I get one made up!
GASP!!! I LOVE this hat!! You are amazing and very kind to share.
Thank you EmmaRose
I am also ending up with a very small hat, and somehow I got 23 puff stitches per round instead of 21. I read through the comments and I think I'm missing the chain one before each puff stitch (feels like chain two after each one)starting at round 5, so I think that's my problem. I love this hat, and will keep trying. Hopefully I can get it right one of these times!
Thanks for all the kind words!
lb91011, have you tried following the video? Maybe that will help.
Love the pattern. Any suggestions on how to make a slightly larger one? Thinking of throwing in an extra puff stitch in one or two rounds but not sure how that would affect the brim. Also, if I put a finished hat up for sale, how would you like to be credited? I was thinking "Thanks to daperfectmix for the great pattern"
Ok I've tried this pattern 3 times and the hat part always seems like it fits a child I have watched the video but still comes out small
I love the hat but it seems a little small, so I'm thinking on adding 8 puff stitches instead of 6. Let me know if I'm correct or not. Thanks.
Hi Marissa,
Starting with 8 puff stitches would be good to make it bigger, also going up in hook size would help. I hope it comes out perfect for you!
