(Pin it for later!)
This hat uses the same yarn that I used for my Watermelon Hat pattern for Adults, which is the very lovely 24/7 Cotton yarn by Lion Brand! It’s perfect for making a summertime hat, since it’s cotton. Also, it has a soft but sturdy texture, which is what helps give the hat such good shape. I used colors Rose (on Amazon HERE
I also think that the colorway “Red” in this yarn would be a super cute substitute to “Rose”, if you’re looking to make a more reddish colored watermelon instead of pink!
So if you’re ready to brighten up summertime for the little one in your life, then let’s get started on this summery sweet hat!!
