cotton summer hat
 

Looking for a pattern for a hat like the one pictured below (it's from an ebay auction I was watching, then thought---hey, i could make that!). I want to make it out of cotton, and I'm not particular about the pattern, colors, etc, just as long as the pattern is free or in a book that has other cool stuff in it :-)

well i had been using this picture to show someone what squiggle yarn looks like but i think under the squiggle rim it looks kinda like that...

lol...bacon and eggs. i think the watermelon is very cute actually...and the first three are GREAT....not so sure about that hershey kiss....lol

geeeeeee, thaaaaaaaaanks KK. you are SO HELPFUL. :P

I actually HAVE a bacon and eggs hat already. ;-) And I do like the watermelon hat. AND i like the squiggle hat too! Unfortunayly I think most of them are felted and I I don't think thatwill keep me cool... or work with cotton ;-) SO the search continues! I kept coming up with CROCHET patterns when i searched... i guess i need to learn to do that correctly, then.

I know you want free... but so far I have only found this

well the lady who did this http://www.redhairedgirl.com/tangibilities/002367.html hat says she adapted it from a felted hat...so maybe

great thanks!!!!! :-) i love this place

THIS ONE isnt felted.... I bet it would work with cotton.

or this one if you don't make the brim so large.
