Both women and even girls love crocheted hats. The hat gives the lady a certain noble romanticism, makes her more sophisticated and mysterious. There is a pragmatic approach to the theme of a crochet hat: such a headdress with large brims covers the face from the sun, protecting against tanning.

Crochet hats: what varieties exist
Hats are crocheted not only for summer, but also for cold weather. The style and type of hat is selected according to the shape and size of the face. The crown of the hat can be flat or rounded, slightly elongated, and the height can be any. If desired, the brim of the hat for women and girls is as follows:
- narrow;
- medium size – folded up or straight;
- wide.
A crocheted hat will come in handy not only when visiting the beach or working in the country, but also as an accessory for creating a feminine look in any style - rustic, urban, business, festive. Both the crown itself and the brim can be crocheted in a patterned or dense manner, without gaps. A tight binding is made along the edge of the brim, which is then tied with cloves, a border, ruffles, or left without a binding.
What materials are hats knitted from?
An insulated version of such a headdress is crocheted from dense mixed yarn without excessive hairiness. Summer hats for women and girls are crocheted from the following materials:
- cotton (pure or mixed);
- bamboo;
- viscose;
- flax;
- acrylic;
- cords;
- raffia, etc.
Raffia is a medium-thick, dense thread made from the dried stems and leaves of plants. The natural color of raffia is beige or light brown with yellowish tint, but there is a large selection of these threads on sale, dyed in any color you like. Crocheted raffia hats look great and hold their shape well.
When crocheting a hat from regular yarn, you can add synthetic thread for greater rigidity. It is also possible, if desired, to use ready-made frames made of thin plastic. The color of the crocheted hat is chosen depending on the desire and intended purpose of the attire.
Crochet hat for women and girls can be decorated with:
- ribbons;
- bows;
- knitted flowers, stems, leaves;
- live bouquets, etc.
A beautiful crochet hat can also serve as a chic gift.
Patterns and descriptions of crocheting summer hats for women
For summer hats, cotton threads are suitable, of course, as well as linen and raffia, which is now fashionable.
As always, we choose the hook that is most convenient for knitting (from 1 to 4) according to the thickness of the thread.
Regardless of the design, any model can always be adjusted to your head size.
First of all, you need to tie the bottom and its diameter should be as many centimeters as indicated in the table:
- 55 size – 16.5
- 56-17
- 58-17,5
- 59-18
- 60-18.
Next, tie the crown and be sure to try it on. If something goes wrong, you can unravel and redo it before moving on to the fields.
Look at the models that I offer you, maybe something will inspire you.
An openwork light hat with a beautiful pattern reminiscent of a sunflower.
The next option is with a dense bottom and crown, and only on the margins there is an openwork in the form of shells. Therefore, the pattern here is given for knitting fields. And other parts should be knitted with double crochets.
In the gray hat, it’s the other way around: a fillet stitch pattern is used for the top, and the brim is dense, with single crochets and scallops along the edge.
The green model also has a very beautiful pattern, even unusual.
The finished item should be soaked in a saturated starch solution or in diluted gelatin, stretched onto a suitable form (not a jar, better take a plastic bucket) and allowed to dry.

About the yardage of yarn and hooks: if you are going to knit on sizes 54-58, you need thicker yarn - from 380m to 450m/100g; hooks from 2.5mm to 3.5mm. If you are going to knit for a child, the yarn should be thinner and the hook should be smaller from 1mm to 2mm. BUT! Girls, dear! EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT KNITTING DENSITY! SO YOU NEED TO TRY.

New knitted hats for women for summer with small brims
Some people like hats with small brims, here are examples of new items from Japanese designers. Despite the fact that they are quite dense, they are still perfect for summer if knitted from cotton.
In this headdress, as I understand it, between each three columns in the crown in all such rows a cord of a different color is inserted, which stands out with interesting dots and creates an interesting decor.
Also a nice little hat with slightly rounded, upturned edges.
A fashionable youth model with a spectacular pattern in the center and small holes in the bottom will also be an excellent summer accessory.
Headdress decor
If you choose a beautiful knitting pattern, the headdress itself will be attractive. A simple fabric requires decoration, otherwise the hat will look boring. Popular decoration options:
- a beautiful ribbon or braid with a pattern, which is sewn at the base of the crown;
- You can make flowers from the same yarn by sewing them on the side, and the composition should not contain more than 2-3 elements;
- large bow made of wide satin ribbon;
- ready-made artificial flowers;
- brooch in the shape of a butterfly or dragonfly;
- simple embroidery with thick thread or cord;
- applique;
- lace or fringe sewn around the edge.
A beautiful crocheted summer hat will complement any casual, beach or romantic look. The advantage of such a headdress is the ability to choose the style, color and pattern at your discretion.
Summer hats for women over 50 years old
Although I highlighted the age in the title, I did this only to make it easier to find who is asking their request in this way. Although everything here is conditional and you can knit any model, whether for young people or older women, that you like.
In this section I want to highlight hats decorated with flowers and bows.
In the first option, a dense bottom and crown are knitted, and in the fields there is a very interesting and slightly complex pattern at first glance.
You can decorate with both artificial flowers and knitted ones, and not necessarily in such quantities as in the photo; you can do with just one or without them at all.
The second model is completely simple, but with a spectacular slit at the back and a large bow. This is where raffia would be great.
Required measurements
In order for a crocheted hat to fit well, you need to take the measurements correctly. You will need to measure your head circumference and seating depth. This is done using a measuring tape. To measure the circumference of the head, it is laid so that it passes 1.5-2 cm above the eyebrows, and at the back - along the most protruding part of the back of the head. After taking measurements, you need to determine the diameter of the bottom of the hat. To do this, the result obtained must be divided by Pi (3.14), then subtract 1.5-2 cm from the result.
To calculate the depth of the hat, you need to divide the circumference of the head by 3. Add 1-2 cm to the result obtained. Then the finished product will slightly cover the ears.
It is important to correctly calculate how much yarn is needed. A children's hat will require 100-150 g; a women's headdress will require from 150 to 300 g. Consumption depends on the thickness of the yarn itself and the chosen pattern. An openwork product requires less thread, but a dense fabric will require more. You also need to take into account the production of decorative elements and strapping. For example, if the head size is 56 cm, and the hat is knitted tightly without a pattern, it will take 300 g of yarn.
In black and white - always relevant!
The classic black and white color is always relevant.
The next model of a warm crochet hat is the black and white classic bell hat with a flower for women. Size 56 cm You will need 100 grams of pure wool yarn of medium thickness in black and white, hook number 5. Knit the product with single crochets (SC), catching them on the top half loop.
How to crochet a hat with a brim? Start knitting from the top. First we knit a chain of three chain stitches, then in the last loop from the hook we knit 6 stitches. Continue to spiral sc in the top stitch, evenly adding 6 sc in each round. When the diameter of the circle is 12 cm, add after 1 row: 1 p. no increase, 2nd rub. - add 6 STB until the folded product is 27 cm. Further 12 cm without additions. Let's move on to the brim of the hat. You need to divide with a marker into 6 sectors and knit 9 rows, adding 1 STB to each marker. The hat is decorated with an artificial flower.
