Crochet Watermelon Sun Hat





































When your daughter has a watermelon bathing suit, the only sensible thing to do is to crochet a 
matching watermelon sun hat! This hat is really easy to make and works up quickly using double 
crochet stitches. And I will show you how to make simple "seeds" using large pony beads!

Materials:
- Size H Crochet Hook
- Worsted weight yarn in red, white and green. Of course you could also make this hat with any 
color combinations!
- Large black pony beads from craftprojectideas.com.
- Tapestry needle

I stitched on my pony beads before starting my brim but you can do this at any point.
With an long strand of red yarn and your tapestry needle, you are going to space the black 
pony beads  3 double crochets apart and weave your strand of yarn through the middle of 
the bead AND the double crochets that are flanking the bead. Do one at a time. You can
 randomly scatter them around the red part of the hat or just do one row as I did.






The watermelon bikini pictured is a hand-me-down (Old Navy brand) but you can 
get your own watermelon swimsuit on Amazon (If she didn't have the bikini already 
I would totally buy the first one!)
