Camouflage Bucket Hat Crochet Pattern

This Camouflage Bucket Hat Crochet Pattern is easy and fun to crochet. I stumbled upon this design while in my rocking chair. Easing the cares of the day away through crochet. It features an adorable nub stitch that is easy to create. The free crochet pattern is below and it includes a tutorial for that crystal center flower, or purchase the ad free pdf at ETSY or RAVELRY.

The silk artificial daisy has a crystal center that is securely sewn to the side of the Bucket Hat. You will find a tutorial at the end of the pattern.

I love the pink rows of mini popcorn crochet stitches or “Nub Stitches”. This would look great using any other variegated yarn. The free crochet pattern is below for you to make this easy to wear hat for you or someone special. Sign Up For My Newsletter

3”wide=9hdc= 3rows =1 ¾” (using 4-ply yarn and “J” hook)

Important note: “H” hook is what you will use to achieve a size 12mo-4t sized hat, and the “J” hook will give you the larger sizes.

HOOK: H/8/5MM (use this hook for 12-24mo & 2t-4t)
12 – 24mo = 18″ – 19.5″ : 2T – 4T = 20″ – 20.5″

Daisy with Rhinestone Center

Tutorial picture 1 on how to add an artificial daisy to the side of the crocheted Camouflage Bucket Hat
1. Remove the plastic back from the artificial daisy.

2. Using a purchased daisy, take it off the stem. It will pull off with a little effort.

3. Take the plastic parts off of the flower, keeping the flower petals together as they were on the stem

Tutorial photo shows the center removed from the daisy.
4. Remove the center from the daisy, but keep all of the petals in together and in place.

5. Use a purchased Rhinestone that has holes drilled in the sides for sewing in place. This is really a button with the holes on the side.

Artificial daisy with a package of crystal buttons.
6. Crystal buttons are easily purchased in a package. They are a perfect fit for this daisy.

7. Notice the holes on the side of the stone for sewing in place. Then using needle and thread sew onto hat in place desired, going through all of the petals. It is easiest to insert the needle from the bottom beside the stone, and then insert the needle down into the hole.

8. It is easy to sew the crystal button directly to the crochet bucket hat using a needle and thread.

      Go Regina! I used to hunt, but cold weather creates havoc with my asthma, so I left that to the boys. We have 75 acres that my husband and the boys hunt on. Do you have a place to go hunting?

    Pim looking forward to making this hat but unfortunately, I can bit make it until my visual issues have been resolved, which should be soon. Then in going to enjoy catching up with all the chemo promises I have made whilst bit able to participate in the events but I’m sure that I ce in able to make a start that the charities or the da ily members who are suffering from. Cancer will be so happy.

    Unfortunately, vreat cancer, as well as other firms of cancer have been striking out family for the last ten years, with I’ve family losing 4 siblings to various types of cancers. Just lakes me wonder why our family are suffering from this terrible disease.

    My prayers are out for all who glare affected and that they survive it able to enjoy some or most if there remaining lives.
