One skein is enough to make this hat, pulling yarn from the inside and outside of the skein at the same time.

Thanks for the crocheted hat pattern in Homespun. Making a poncho out of Coral Gables for my granddaughter and this will make it a very cute set for her to wear this fall.
Your hat is really cute, & will come in hand when gardening !!!
Cute cute hat!! What size of hook did you use?
Thanks!
Thanks! I used a size N hook, which is also known as 9 millimeter for folks outside the U.S.
Thanks for sharing this pattern. I think I'll use it for my niece who LOVES hats. And maybe one for my daughter.
WOULD THIS FIT GIRLS AGES 6 & 12? THANKS
The hat that I crocheted would fit a 12-year-old well, and be roomy for a 6-year-old.
Everyone has a slightly different tension when they knit or crochet, but I've noticed more difference between individuals crocheting. This is why it is recommended that you make test swatches. But nobody likes to make a swatch, and so I would recommend that you try crocheting a hat in the smaller size and see how it turns out.
If you tend to crochet tightly, then the hat would be smaller and would probably fit a 6-year-old well, and if you tend to crochet loosely the hat would be larger and would fit a 12-year-old (or maybe an adult). You can use a size larger or smaller crochet hook to adjust the size of the next hat accordingly for the other child.
Thank you for the pattern! I just made this hat for my daughter for Christmas. It took only about a half hour. Very cute!!!
I love this hat for my 2 yr twins and I am thrilled to get this pattern. I will adjust the hook and the rows so it will be smaller. I think it is the most precious for my girl and boy.........it will look great for a boy in boy colors....they love to play with hats.
I want to make this for a 2 year old. Does this start with making a circle/round? Or, is the first stitch the "round"? Does that make any sense?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I would like to thank you for this easy pattern. I made the hat in about an hour. This woman at work's grandaughter is in Sloan Kettering and this hat is just perfect for a girly girl!
I'm new to crochet,how many more stitches needed to fit adult. Luv the hat.
Thanks for the pattern - our group at church are making hats/scarves/mittens/blankets for an orphanage in Uganda and India through Contagious Hope. This is an easy pattern - I'll be able to produce a lot for them.
your pattern is fantastic i can't wait to try it. but i would like to know also how many stitches for an adult hat? thanks for the pattern. mattie
That is very neat hat. Love it.
Love this pattern! I searched and searched for a children's size bucket hat and this is by far the best one.
