A cute crochet hat makes a thoughtful gift for a younger child and this one is quick and simple to make. It’s crocheted in Patons Morocco yarn which turns into stripes as you crochet with no need to change yarn.

Patons Morocco yarn is a soft blend of cotton and polyester, so that should help the hat to keep its shape and stop it from going too floppy after a couple of wears! The sun hat’s shapely brim will shade and protect little ones’ faces, and could be made for young boys or girls. We’ve used the Papaya / Coral mix for our free knitting pattern, but there is a Jade mix that is just right for young boys...

Available in six different colour ways, Patons Morocco is perfect for summer garments and accessories. If you like the Morocco look, then don’t miss our free knitting pattern for a girls’ summer tank top, also knitted in this yarn.
