Crochet Sun Hat

I freestyle crocheted this sun hat, on the assumption that my soon-to-be babies head would be about 14″ in diameter at some point, but it came out a little wonky without a pattern, and unless her head is ovular like this teddy bear, it may never fit reasonably. Oh well! Maybe it’s a bear hat, but really, I’ll make baby wear it even if it does fit funny.

I like the way the rolled up brim came out, it gives it a nice stiffness that may actually keep the hat out of her eyes.

In addition to the flower on the front, there’s also a crochet pompom hanging back off the top that you can’t really see in the picture. It’s a bit excessive to have both, but that’s just what happens when you are randomly crocheting at the playground. You just keep chaining in different directions until it’s time to go home. (^_~)
