The diva wide-brim hat we are showing you today definitely won’t let you go unnoticed. Dramatic yet comfortable to wear, it has a shape inspired by the 1960s. Add a pair of statement sunglasses and you are ready to go. In our opinion, this hat is also perfect for a summer event.
It is made with Sailorman pure cotton tape yarn and worked in single crochet, keeping an even tension to obtain a stiff, compact fabric. You start from the top, first crocheting the crown and then the brim. Before starting the project, it is advisable to make a gauge swatch to be sure the hat will have the rigidity needed to support the shape of the brim. And now all you have to do is choose your favorite color in our online shop and start the project. Remember, you will only achieve the same result you see in the photos by using our Sailorman yarn.
