She’d been hiding for a while, but now at least we know she’s still there: the sun. And whenever there’s sun, some protection is needed, especially for the smallest among us.
The one we still had here at home was one from last year. And while it was too big at that time, it’s getting too small now. Time for a new one!
I based my version on the Oliver + S bucket hat pattern. Reversible, so I actually made 2 hats.
I added straps, so I can secure it tightly, saving me the trouble to stop cycling and run after the thing. To keep the hat reversible without there being straps in odd places on the outside, I left holes on the side, between the brim and the hat. That way, I can easily pull the straps through so they are on the right side.
To avoid pulling the straps through completely, I just folded the ends a couple of times.
Now I can choose between a tiny gnome or a toad stool.
