Nantucket Bucket Hat PDF Sewing Pattern
Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Very well structured. Easy- good instructions, several sizes, I’ve made 21” small,22” mediums and 23” larges. Sent a few off to family members.
Since sewing this hat, I have worn it just about 2x a week and I love it, especially when my un-rully hair won't cooperate. Such an easy sew too.
C'est pas le premier bucket hat que je fais, mais c'est le plus beau, j'adore, j'ai eu pleins de beaux commentaires.
There are a lot of free tutorials on youtube for bucket hat patterns, but this one seemed to look the best so I thought it would be worth the money to have the convenience of the pattern rather than spending time making my own. I am very glad that I bought it. I can tell this pattern is from a professional pattern maker. It is not like a lot of the DIY pettern makers' patterns, in that you have "layered" patterns. I did not know what this was until I bought the pattern. You have the ability to check (select) which size pattern you want to print, so you do not see all of the lines of the other sizes when you print the pattern. BRILLIANT! My only constructive feedback to the pattern maker, is I wish you included sizes for babies. I knew that when buying it as the description clearly lists the pattern sizes. But it sure would be nice to have this pattern in baby sizes as well (or perhaps you can make another size group for babies and toddlers?!) Thank you for a great pattern!
After making 6 in different fabrics and sizes, I'm still amazed at how simple this is and an outfit can be styled up or changed with fabric or color. The best it can be used for the whole family as so many size options exist.
I wanted a soft hat to wear in the pool, so I made one of these for myself........my 6 year old stole it! So I had to make another one for him so I could get mine back. Then my hubby and older boys all requested their own too! A great hat for the WHOLE family.
