Sadie the Sunflower Hat crochet pattern is a cute little hat for babies and children. When I was thinking of a country style, one of the first things that came to mind was a sunflower so, of course, I had to make one. Get your yarn and hook ready for some yarn fun!

This easy crochet pattern is sized for newborns up through children size with a 20-inch circumference head, so you can make a hat for every little one you know. Imagine the adorable photo possibilities!

The cure hat calls for worsted weight yarn and uses simple crochet stitches so they’re great for those new to crochet. Make it a stash-buster and make a bunch of hats with different colored crochet flower patterns if you want.
