How To Make A Custom Bucket Hat
Are you looking for something to spice up your summer style? Then check out this tutorial on how to make custom bucket hats in just minutes! All you need is some fabric, a bucket, and some scissors. This hat is perfect for adding personality to any outfit and can be wear up or down. So let’s get started!
- Start by cutting out a piece of fabric that will fit snugly around the bottom of your bucket. Ensure the edges are even, so they will look uniform when finished.
- Next, fold the fabric in half so that the short end is now on one side and the long end is on the other. Now crease the fold where it meets the top of the bucket. This will help shape that later on.
- Next, place the bucket upside down on top of the folded fabric so that the creased edge of the fabric is facing up. Use a pencil to trace around the circumference of the bucket lid using gentle pressure so as not to cut into the fabric (you may want to do two or three circles).

Tips For Making A Custom Bucket Hat
Making a custom bucket hat is easy! Here are some tips to get started:
- Get a good hat pattern. There are many online, or you can find one in a craft store. Find one that fits well because you will create the hat from scratch.
- Choose your yarn and needles. Worsted-weight yarn is best for this project, as it will hold its shape well. Use a circular needle for ease of knitting.
- Start by knitting the front of the hat using green yarn. For the brim, knit two rows of ribbing using black yarn, then decrease 1 row every other row until eight sts are left on the needle (4 sts). Place these four sts onto a spare needle and keep them aside for later use.
- Next, start working in the back loop only of the green stitches (the purl side), using black yarn to create a ridge down the center of the hat (see photo below). Row 1: *K1, P1; rep from * across row Rows 2-6: K all sts
