Crochet Bobble Granny Square Bucket Hat

Crochet Bobble Granny Square Bucket Hat Free Pattern on Crochet For You

Who loves making bucket style hats with granny squares? When I see crochet granny square hats out there I just wanted to try to make a hat with my most popular granny square, bobble drops flower. I’m thrilled with the final result and thought to share the pattern with you all. 

This granny square bucket hat is perfect for the summer out going. I used the black as the main color for making the hat looks more classic. But you can make a colorful bucket hat adding more colors.

  • You can find the bobble drops flower granny square video tutorial here, but remember there are 4 rounds only in the original square pattern, so you need to follow the final round (round 5 on this post) and finish the squares.
