Preorder details for The Sun Hat

This sun hat started off as a personal project to protect my skin against the heat of summer. I’ve never had a sun hat, but have always admired them and now that I’ve been crocheting more and more, I decided I was finally ready to tackle a sun hat. I absolutely love how it turned out, too! I used raffia yarn for this project, which is actually sustainable and biodegradable and made from wood fibers. Raffia is a common fiber in store-bought sun hats as well! The sun hat is a bit more of an extensive and time-consuming project than many of the other items in the EB Knits shop right now, but it’s so cute and made with such a high quality eco-friendly yarn, so I decided to offer it in the shop! Unfortunately, it’s already mid-Summer, but hopefully you will absolutely love this sun hat for this summer, any warm weather vacations or road trips and the next few summers as well! The reason the preorder is only open for one week is since it’s already so late in the season, I want you to be able to receive and wear your sun hat while it’s still summer weather in most places.

The brim of the hat is reinforced with wire to secure it from flopping over too much, but it is still allows for some floppiness if that’s your jam. Because this is a preorder, I will order the materials once the preorder is closed, which means I can offer a ton of color options so you can personalize it just for your style or a friend’s you would like to gift it to!

Dates for preorder

Fri, July 17 - Sat, July 25

How will it work?

Preorders will be open for one week, then I will order the appropriate colors you requested and crochet your sun hat before mailing it off to you within 4 weeks of your order

Production time:

3-4 weeks (likely before, but I want to allow enough time for any shipping issues once I order the yarn)

Will it look exactly like the hat in the picture?

Almost! The hat brim pictured is 5.5 inches and your hat brim will be about 4.5 inches, unless you tell me differently. And instead of the beads and white ribbon around the base of your sun hat, a matching braided ribbon will accompany yours.

Will it fit me?

Yes, even if you have a smaller head, I’ve discovered that the ribbon around the hat can be tightened in a knot or bow to adjust to your perfect size! The brim of the hat will be approximately 4.5 inches.

Price:

$175 (Please keep in mine this is 100% handmade and using raffia (a luxurious and eco-friendly) yarn)

Colors available:

Because this is a preorder, I can offer a wide range of colors! If I were to crochet another hat for myself, I would chose a more neutral tan shade like white, tan or desert palm.
