This pattern is part of my market makes series!

The idea for this hat came from the increases on a granny square blanket I was working on. I wanted a bucket hat that looked like the granny square, but I wound up making a ruffle hat instead!

This is a pattern for a standard size bucket hat. Instructions are not specific to sizing, and sizing can be increased or decreased based on the crown size. Guidance is given during increases and creation of the cap portion to maintain stitch count, but the ruffle portion may be applied to any size hat!

This pattern would be wonderful for markets that are gift-centric or interactive.
