Amazing Grace Bucket Hat

Amazing Grace Bucket Hat

Amazing Grace Bucket Hat! The perfect Summertime hat… And, This is the 29th Amazing Grace Pattern! All of the Amazing Grace Crochet Patterns are dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness. Read more about this in the Amazing Grace Pattern tab at the top of the page!

Amazing Grace Bucket Hat

Crocheted Bucket Hats seem to be the thing this year and I was so excited to combine this style hat with the special stitch that I use in all of my Amazing Grace Crochet Patterns…

This is a two row repeat for the special Amazing Grace Stitch, one row has (sc,ch2,sc) I say this is catching the prayers for the next row that represents the prayer for those who we give these to. The second row of the special Amazing Grace Stitch is 3 dc in the ch 2 of the previous row. If you believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, this is what I pray in the 3dc sts for the ones who are suffering from cancer or any life altering event. This hat only has one set of the Amazing Grace Stitch Pattern for sun protection!

The hat uses cotton yarn and is so soft! This makes a great light weight hat for someone who may have lost their hair! Make on to give or just for your self!
