Crochet bucket hats are the must-have accessory this summer

If you love crochet, you need to make your next project a crochet bucket hat – they're everywhere this summer.

A crochet bucket hat is a super stylish way to stay cool on the beach or even in your own garden – and the best part is, they don't take long to make!

Many crochet bucket hats are made using raffia yarn for a stiffer finish, but you could use cotton is you'd rather a lighter, floppier look.

A crochet bucket hat is a great project to make if you've mastered the basic crochet stitches and would like to use your skills to create stylish pieces for your wardrobe and home.

Crafters across the world have been taking to social media to show off their crochet bucket hat projects – and the results have us seriously inspired to get stitching! We've rounded up our favourites to inspire your next project.

Gorgeous in green

Sometimes the most stylish projects are crocheted in one colour, as demonstrated by this gorgeous green hat from @mo.design.it on Instagram. It would be perfect to throw on for a day at the beach this summer!

Super scraps idea

We're always looking for clever ways to use up the scraps of yarn leftover from our crochet and knitting projects – and a scrap yarn crochet bucket hat feels like the answer!

We love this one @crochetbybev on Instagram – the multi-coloured yarn makes it perfect for summer!

Flower power

A crochet flower is a lovely motif to add to any project, including a bucket hat – as demonstrated by this super cute one from @razmaracrochet on Instagram. The yarn colours used in the flowers really pull the whole project together.
