Hi Wan! You're an inspiration! I used this tutorial, altered a little in terms of stitches and material and made my very own SUN HAT! Its so cute, I've been wearing it EVERYWHERE! Thanks a ton!
I just made this using tape yarn it turned out so adorable. I purchased some rope wire 1/16th of an inch for the brim but I actually didn’t need it I like the look of it. It’s a birthday gift for my mother‘s 83rd birthday.
That’s excellent, I’d love to know more specifics about this tape yarn, I’m not sure I’m familiar. So sweet of you, sorry I missed your comment. Thanks for sharing 🙏
I just bought some yarn and I’m looking forward to making my first summer hat. I have not made any of your projects yet. I just found you on RUclips. I like your projects and your instruction seem very clear and concise.
I used a cotton recycled blend to make mine. Came out slightly smaller but worked so well! Super cute and has some stretch so it fits perfectly. Beautiful pattern and easy to follow 🤗
I'm using the Raffia 100% paper yarn for the first time. It takes so much time to get used to. However, I will complete this hat in a couple of days. I did crochet this hat using milky cotton yarn and it came out fantastic.
WOW 😲.. just WOW 😲 ... This is beautiful. I love ALL of your work. I am currently making another summer top from your collection. I will soon have a hat to match. 🤗 Thank you for sharing your talent.🌺
Merci pour ce tutorial. Les explications sont très claires. Le résultat est parfait. J'ai fait ce chapeau en raphia acheté sur le site de Lou Passion couleur nude taille S. Comme je serre beaucoup en crochetant, j'ai utilisé un crochet n°4. J'ai commencé la partie droite tout en mailles serrées au 12ème rang (80 mailles).
Hi…just wondering…has anyone had a hard time with the stiffness of the Raffia? My friend and I both ordered the Perfect Yarns Raffia Yarn, and both of us have such a hard time crocheting with it. It does not look as easy and soft to work with, as it does in the video. Thank you ! 😊
Hi Patty, if it makes you feel any better, I have a tough time with it too. It’s just way more rigid than the typical fibers I work with, but it’s worth the hassle in my opinion. You can’t get anywhere near the fit and feel without it. Good luck and take your time with it, give your hands breaks more often than usual
@@KnitcroAddict yes it does make me feel better, because in the video it looks like the stitches are soft and easy. Thank you for the tip, that is how we are approaching the project, a few rows at a time. Thank you for sharing your opinion, looking forward to future projects 😊
Ohhh you’re gonna kill that vacation wardrobe with this one 😉 I need to stop crocheting long enough to take a vacation to rock it 🤣 Best of luck, I hope you have a good vacation and everyone loves your hat 👒
Following exactly and bought the yarn from Etsy and the brim does not seem to be stiff enough to go out straight just makes the hat look taller. I’ve checked and counted total stitches for each row. I started the brim at row 36🤷🏼♀️ everything seemed correct
It's going to take me awhile to get to round 46 but it will be interesting. Will make a note to follow-up on this! Usually I have to go down one hook size. I wouldn't even attempt a 2.0 hook!
I'm on row 21 and I know I will not have enough raffia to finish this hat. I'm using 3mm hook and the Yarn she used. I'm also a tight crocheter. I might have to frog every round and just skip few rounds cause my 21 rounds are huge
I am so excited to start making this hat. I need to order raffia yarn. Right now making a practice one with stiff cotton yarn. This may be a standard pattern I make for the summer market! Love your tutorials. So easy to follow :)
That’s a smart idea, practicing with the cotton first. The raffia is too tough for some peoples hands but so worth it for this hat in my opinion. I adore mine. They’re really durable yet pliable. You can kinda style them how you want and they’ll hold but can still easily be put back to the original shape. If you’re selling them in the summer market, you’re gonna be popular 😊Good luck, let me know how the raffia goes! ❤️
Sei bravissima anche se fatico con la lingua..infatti seguo le tue mani😊..una domanda . perché mi fa le le onde e nn viene piatto?.. da cosa dipende??eppure eseguo gli aumenti correttamente..potresti essermi d.aiuto?grazie 😊
WOW 😲 this is beautiful!! I love all your videos, I am currently making another summer top you suggested. The summer hat I made is nothing compared to what you just did... I will be making this summer hat after my summer top. Thank you for sharing your talent. 🌺
Love it❤ Thanks for sharing. Just want to ask you the kind of raffis you have coz the one I have is difficult to stitch. Pls let me know the specific kind of raffis to order, Thanks again.
I was questioning if I had the proper raffia or hook because it looks like her hook is effortlessly moving through the material while I'm over here icing my hands after row 7! LolThank God for these comments! I thought that I was doing something wrong and was about to go out and buy different yarn and possibly a new hook!
Hey! I already made some of your shirts and I loved the explanation you gave on how to measure and construct your garmets. Do you have any instructions on how to make a size bigger than 23.5inches/large? 24-24/5 inches? Should I just add an extra row after (Size L only) Round 17 with increase? Thanks so much in advance, I am so excited to start this project.
I am doing all that you say - the same yarn and a number hook is 3 mm but I seems to be wrestling with the yarn. The crocheting is not as smooth as I see you doing. Am I doing something wrong? thanks - I just love this pattern. Thank you again.
Could be the batch she is using is more pliable. I purchased the same raffia and find it is very difficult to work with. Not smooth at all. I prefer the raffia made by Wool and the Gang. More expensive but great to work with. I easily made 2 hats with it. Right now, I’m doing a 3rd hat using the one she demos. I feel like I have cuts in my fingers. This is a lovely pattern tho.
You’re welcome Chrystal, I’m sorry you’re having a hard time. You can use any raffia yarn you’re able to match the gauge with, I only recommend using this one because it’s easier to do so with the same yarn. The sizes vary greatly. I know, it’s tough to work with. Could be a different batch, but honestly it probably looks smoother because I have 1000s of hours of crochet experience, so it will of course look a little smoother when I’m crocheting. If everything matches up and the size is right, you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s just not fun to work with lol, but it’s worth it when it’s finished.
I have an update: there is definitely an issue with the white color I purchased. The other 3 colors (chocolate, mustard and yellow) work beautifully and just like the video. I informed the seller. I also abandoned using the white and will instead continue with the chocolate. So it’s not you. It’s the yarn.
If you want your hat to look like hers buy the exact raffia she is using. After making two of these with a different raffia and not pleased with the results, I bought Perfect Yarns brand and am very pleased. Now it looks like hers.
Thanks Tina, I agree. People always want to try something else but I’ve done the research, nothing works as well as this raffia. I’m sure there’s some other brands that will work, but the only one Im 💯 sure of is this one.
love it , girl you rock ! everything you make is over the top , easy to follow tutorials, I definitely want to make this , afew 😆. But nit real sure where to Buy the Raffia Yarn ? Thank you so much ❤️ 💗 💛
Thank you! That’s what I’m going for, over the top and easy to make 😂 Check out the links in the description, there’s a link to where I got mine from. There are other online sources I’m sure, so feel free to search around for a good source for you as well ❤️🙏🏽
hi it will be very useful if you write the size detail so we adjust the stich and rows number to our yarn i live in a differnt coutry and we have a different brand of rafia/ tks
Hello! Just wondering if you can please tell me the name of the reddish colour you used? I love it! Perfect yarns has a few different colours that could be this shade - thanks so much, love this pattern!!!
I’m wondering if i can make double crochet stitch from row 17 and switch back to single crochet stitch when i hit the brim. Do you think that will work out?
Hi. It’s a nice pattern. I’m an experienced crocheter but my hat did not turn out perfect either. Once I added the clusters, the end of the brim turned downwards making it look like a lampshade. I am attempting to correct/flatten the brim by laying it down on a table and weighing it down with books. I discovered this trick with a similar hat. I will let you know if it works. Also, I used Ra-Ra Raffia yarn by Wool and the Gang. Bye for now 😊
Update: weighting down the brim worked very well. It’s not totally flat but not bowed down like it was. It looks lovely. Too bad I can’t submit a pic. Off to work on my second one. Thanks for the pattern ❤
Hi Jenny, could be a few things, can I ask what material you’re using? You may just be crocheting tighter, did you make a gauge swatch before starting?
I am using the Perfect Yarns bought through the link and a size 3.00 hook . I did not do a gauge swatch as my crochet usually comes out to size with patterns and was not quite sure how to do it with the yarn as so difficult to use (are you supposed to do 18 stitches for 18 straight rows of Sc or in a magic ring ? . If it is too tight shouldI just use a larger hook? I did make a hat in a different grade soft raffia and although easier to work with the hat was too big and I ran out of yarn before finishing it ! Thank you for replying so promptly to my question
@@KnitcroAddict I can only think that Perfect Yarns sent you a softer raffia than what they sent me . I have used one and a half skeins of the raffia. The label looks like yours but definitely not the same outcome and much stiffer.
I am in the process of making this. I am a tight stitch crocheter should I go up a hook size or maybe a half size. I’ve had a couple of yarn breaks using the raffia I ordered from Etsy.
You’ll need to make a gauge swatch to see if you need to make an adjustment, either on hook size or the size you choose to make. If you have your gauge swatch, I can tell you more accurately
Almost done with my hat! How did you block yours? Blocking it is a must to make it look its best! I loved making this hat although it was tiring to my 67 year old hands!!
I actually didn’t need to block mine but I’m not sure what raffia or yarn you used. Mine turned out with a great shape and feel with no blocking. Keep up the great work! The raffia was tough on my hands but so worth! Thanks for much for watching and for the comment! 😊🙏❤️🌺
I’m trying to crochet the summer hat, but I’m having trouble the raffia that I bought from hobbii is 100 % raffia paper but is so hard to work . Any suggestions 😢
I have seen the most darling straw hats that are made without a crown. Just the brim and a hole in the middle that sits on top of your head. Can you design a crocheted hat like that?
@@KnitcroAddict I’ve broken it several times now. I’m trying to be gentle and I’ve tried using a larger hook. I’m thinking it’s defective because it’s also tearing. :(
I ordered the Perfect Yarns got my 3mm hook out, did the magic ring added the 8 sc, but when it came to closing the magic ring my raffia snapped😢 This happened another 3 times. Whats going on?? Someone please help or I might have to quit😢
Il faut faire quelques rangs de mailles serrées supplémentaires avec augmentations. Le calcul du diamètre correspond au périmètre crânien divisé par le nombre Pi. 58 : 3,14 = 18 cm. Pour le 14ème rang, j'ai répété [13 ms, 1 augmentation] : 120 mailles.
I have made one using a different brand soft raffia which is also really big . I have today received my order from Perfect yarns and have to say it is so much more difficult to work with than the other brand , my fingers are aching after 3 rounds ! . I am hoping the sizing will work out better than my first attempt . Are you using the Perfect yarns ?
It’s not impossible but I don’t recommend it. For one, it will be tough to adjust the pattern to the yarn, but it also doesn’t make for the greatest hat. I’ve had a few people try the cotton and really struggled to get the right size. The raffia is water resistant and has the perfect feel and rigidity for a hat.
I’m new to raffia. I have a problem not with the instruction tho. You didn’t give either a gauge or a measurement for the finished circle for either size. As a result I 31:03 I have no idea how I’m doing and what size I should continue making. HELP
Normally I would say absolutely, but for this one I don’t recommend it. You can try something else for sure but I don’t think it will be at all like the pattern intended.
I'm a knitter but after seeing your short about this hat, I ordered the yarn. Time to learn!
Amazing. You’re so kind and good at teaching ❤
Hi Wan! You're an inspiration! I used this tutorial, altered a little in terms of stitches and material and made my very own SUN HAT! Its so cute, I've been wearing it EVERYWHERE! Thanks a ton!

That’s excellent, I’d love to know more specifics about this tape yarn, I’m not sure I’m familiar. So sweet of you, sorry I missed your comment. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Where can i order this yarn i had agood lesson ❤😊
lovely hat, you make it so easy. I was wondering if there a different types of raffie ? my hat was hard to crochet
There is a slightly softer version I used, but there’s no way around it really, raffia is tough stuff. Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Hi for row 36 large, only have 6 stitches left after doing the repeats. Please advise.
Brilliant. Thank you. 👌💕
You’re welcome 😊
Can we use acrylic yarn for this ??
What size the brim is in cm?
How much skein or grams of raffia yarn are needed to crochet this hat please the way u explain is so clear thanks for being a good teacher
1skein is more than enough for a hat.
I am doing all that you say - the same yarn and a number hook is 3 mm but I seems to be wrestling with the yarn. The crocheting is not as smooth as I see you doing. Am I doing something wrong? thanks - I just love this pattern. Thank you again.

Hi! May I ask you how many centimeters (approx) has the top of the hat? Thank you so much!
Love it. I don't have those materials can I use polyester yarn?
Thank you. You can but I don’t recommend it. It will turn out very differently from the pattern
Thank you!
Thank you so lovely God bless

Try using stiffener for your brim. It works on Raffia as well as cotton.
My top of hat curls up at edge of each round. You make it look so easy and yours isn’t curling up any ideas would be appreciated

You must be grumpy AND strong lol. Raffia isn’t easy to break
@@KnitcroAddict I’ve broken it several times now. I’m trying to be gentle and I’ve tried using a larger hook. I’m thinking it’s defective because it’s also tearing. :(
I find it extremely easy to break a single strand of raffia; the crocheted work is very strong but I broke my tail off by accident too 😂
Me too!
I broke my starting tail many times, but what I did was to use fabric glue, it's working!
I ordered the Perfect Yarns got my 3mm hook out, did the magic ring added the 8 sc, but when it came to closing the magic ring my raffia snapped😢 This happened another 3 times.
Whats going on?? Someone please help or I might have to quit😢
What are the stitch multiples for making the hat larger? Anyone know? ❤
Il faut faire quelques rangs de mailles serrées supplémentaires avec augmentations. Le calcul du diamètre correspond au périmètre crânien divisé par le nombre Pi. 58 : 3,14 = 18 cm. Pour le 14ème rang, j'ai répété [13 ms, 1 augmentation] : 120 mailles.
Would it work if acrylic yarn was used? It would probably not be as stiff as using raffia but, it is very hard to find raffia yarn in my region
What is another choice of yarn besides raffia??
Mine is turning a bit wavy, is that a tension issue? My counts are correct
Beautiful hat how much you charge to make.
So far im struggling with this . My hat does not look like hers it is way bigger 😢.
I have made one using a different brand soft raffia which is also really big . I have today received my order from Perfect yarns and have to say it is so much more difficult to work with than the other brand , my fingers are aching after 3 rounds ! . I am hoping the sizing will work out better than my first attempt . Are you using the Perfect yarns ?
I’m using King Cole Raffia and mine has come out bigger, I’m leaving it at 29 rows as it sits just above my ears
How do I order the raffia yarn you used from you? I want this yarn!
Do you think making this with a cotton yarn would work?
It’s not impossible but I don’t recommend it. For one, it will be tough to adjust the pattern to the yarn, but it also doesn’t make for the greatest hat. I’ve had a few people try the cotton and really struggled to get the right size. The raffia is water resistant and has the perfect feel and rigidity for a hat.
I’m new to raffia. I have a problem not with the instruction tho. You didn’t give either a gauge or a measurement for the finished circle for either size. As a result I 31:03 I have no idea how I’m doing and what size I should continue making. HELP
Soy de la cdmx, me pueden decir ¿donde consigo ese tipo de radia?
Can we use another yarn? Which one do you suggest? Thanks
Normally I would say absolutely, but for this one I don’t recommend it. You can try something else for sure but I don’t think it will be at all like the pattern intended.
