Skill Level: 2, Easy
For sailors, fishermen, hikers, or any one who goes outdoors in all kinds of weather -- this hat pattern is for you! Sew up this wide-brimmed waterproof hat with a contrast crown for wearing out and about. The pattern has a choice for two brim sizes (All-Weather Hat is a smaller brim; Heavy-Weather is a wider brim and longer in the back), plus a cozy micro-fleece lined crown. The elastic and velcro on the band make it easy to adjust, and keep the brim up when needed. Add the earflaps for warmth, or make it from a lightweight woven fabric for a great sunhat!
