Here are 15 eco-friendly bucket hat crochet patterns with sustainable yarn suggestions to get you inspired.
The Jasmine Sun Hat crochet pattern that I designed and made for myself has been one of the most useful crochet projects I’ve created. I use it every summer and absolutely love that it is made with eco-friendly yarn.
The summer brings immense heat to where I live and so not only does the sustainable yarn choice help the environment but also helps to keep me cooler and allow my hair and skin to breathe.
Check out my favourite yarn suggestions for bucket hats listed below.
Which Yarns to Use for Sun Hats?
You want your hat to be breathable, especially when it is super hot. The last thing you need is for your head to get hotter and hotter by being covered in a synthetic hat.
So make sure you choose something natural, something plant based that will allow the air to get in. Below are some of my favourites.
