It is really hot these days, the sun keeps on burning the ground until late in the day, and I found out my skin got tanned even when I was careful enough to wear sun-proof clothing. This made me think of my little baby boy who is active under the sun lots of the time and I decided to make him something to protect his tender skin.
The first thing I made for my boy is a reversible bucket hat, and I think that it is quite nice, so I'd love to share it with loving mothers who are readers of this blog.
This 3-page pattern is a very easy one to cut and sew, and it takes just some small pieces of fabric. You can make it in just about 1 hour.
The brim of this hat can be modified if you want it larger or smaller. I want it large to cover my baby's head so the pattern has a wide brim of 10cm/4in. I also made another hat with a 7cm/2.75in brim.

The pattern is made for baby under 3 years old whose head circumference is under 52 centimeter/20 inches, so it is quite small. I think I will make a pattern for bigger children and grown-ups next time.
Because my baby is a boy, I do not make any decorations to the hat (maybe because I am too lazy, I was just making excuses). But if you have a girl, a bow or something girly would look beautiful on this hat.
The pattern consists of 3 pieces: the Crown, the Side and the Brim. Cut out 2 sets of these pieces using 2 different colors, and after sewing them together, you will have a reversible hat to mix with different outfits.
