This simple bucket hat is a great base for some lovely fabric flowers. Make them yourself, buy them, or even crochet them! I made mine with my Boye Flower Loom. You can also wear this hat with just a tied ribbon, and no flowers, if that is more your style. It is recommended to use brimlock in the brim to keep the shape and help shield you from the sun.

lWhat a cute hat! And thanks for the links for the brim stiffener – I often don’t make brimmed hats cuz they flop around and look silly.
