What could be better than a perfect mix of food and crocheting? I have loved seeing so many pizza-themed crochet patterns. I’ve seen pizza blankets, scarves, kids play food and even sweaters!
In addition to fun pizza projects, I’ve also noticed there are a LOT of very cute bucket hats, too! I actually made myself a grey bucket hat last year and it is a GAMECHANGER on a rainy day – protects my glasses from getting covered in annoying rain droplets. I feel invincible in my bucket hat and rain boots!
Soooo…I decided to combine these two ideas for a fun Pepperoni Pizza Bucket Hat!
I hope you enjoy this funny pattern and that wearing this cheesy goodness on your head will bring smiles and laughter into the world.
Tools and Materials:
- #4 yarn in yellow, red, tan and burgundy
(I used Premiere cotton in yellow for the hat pictured. All other yarn was scraps I had already!) - H hook (5 mm) for hat
- G hook (4mm) for pepperonis
- yarn needle for attaching pepperoni
- scissors
Looks good enough to eat!
