The base of the bucket hat is formed by a series of increases until the desired circumference is reached. Then, the fold is formed by joining two rows together. The body of the bucket hat is knitted in stockinette stitch until the desired height is reached. The visor is knitted in stockinette stitch and is doubled. The pattern allows the bucket hat to be knitted according to any head circumference. It will be necessary to calculate the number of stitches to obtain at the end of the increases in the crown of the hat. The required yardage depends on your head circumference. You should allow approximately:
- 150 g (=255 m) for a head circumference of 56 cm (SM)
- 180 g (=300 m) for a head circumference of 59 cm (L-XL)
