70’s Inspired Crochet Bucket Hat
This crochet bucket hat was designed by my grandmother in the 1970’s. My mom recently found it and gave it to me to recreate. This just blows my mind that decades later I am able to work from my guelita’s original hat to make my own version. I actually cried as I working this.
Crochet was my grandmother Conception’s full time profession as it is now mine. She’s been gone 30 years now but her legacy continues.

SWIRL
You will be working with two strands of the black yarn. I suggest you work one strand from the center of the skein and 1 strand from the outside of the skein.
Cut off the two strands from the skein for about a 5 foot length. (This should be enough to cover about 3/4ths of the FPDC columns. You will need to tie two more strands when you run out of the 5 ft strands.)
From the outside of the hat, insert the hook into the hole of the ring to pull up the two strands. Insert the two strands into the nearest sp between the FPDC’s. The strands should now be hanging in the inside of the hat.
Next pull up the two strands with the hook from the inside to the outside into the sp next to the FPDC.
Place the two strands so they cross over the FPDC.
Insert the hook behind the FPDC nearest the two strands; pull the strands under the FPDC through to the front as shown in photo above.
Place the strands across the next FPDC below.
Repeat the process working into ea FPDC of the “column”.
When you reach the black sc row insert the black strands into the sp nearest the black row so the strands are now on the inside of the hat.
You will then pull the two strands through a few black sc strands as shown in the photo above. The red yarn needle is just to point to where you should be working.
You are positioning the black strands beneath the next column of FPDC’s.
Pull the two strands to the front of the hat next to the FPDC. Work the swirls as you have been, working up toward the center hole.
When you complete the last swirl, insert the two strands into the center hole.
Repeat the process working all of the FPDC columns.
End with the two strands on the inside of the hat.
Tie off the yarn.
