Nothing says summer quite like a Buttercup Sunhat with a ruffled brim! This sunhat is super fun to make because it is not just a simple sunhat. This sunhat not only has a gorgeous lace like texture but a ruffled brim! This sunhat is made with cotton yarn, which helps keep it lightweight for anyone to wear from newborn to adult. This crochet pattern uses basic crochet stitches, so even though it looks advanced with the gorgeous lace texture but it isn't, you just combine those simple stitches together to create the beautiful texture.
