Dec 7 Shells and Tiny Roses Summer Hat Free Crochet Pattern

As I am adding new crochet patterns to my shop, I am also “retiring” some!

I created this hat pattern back in 2016! I made it with an acrylic thread (Handicrafter by Bernat). It’s a light, airy summer hat for a little girl 3-5 years old.

I hope you’ll enjoy my pattern!
