Free doll clothes pattern to crochet
Sunhat for an American Girl Doll

Here is an EASY pattern for your American Girl doll that YOU can crochet! It is ideal for a beginner. It will fit most 15 to 18 inch dolls. Only two stitches are used: the double crochet and single crochet stitches.

I used a multi colored Skacel 100% Polyamid(Tactel) yarn.

The hat requires about 25 grams.

Gauge: 4 SC = 1 inch with size G (4 mm) crochet hook.

Sun Hat Pattern:

Chain 5. Join chain, forming a circle, then ch 2.

Row 1: 8 DC in center of circle just formed. Join to complete circle and ch 2. Turn.

Row 2: DC in first stitch, then 2 DC in remaining stitches in row. Join, ch 2, and turn.

Rows 3-4: 1 DC in first stitch, 2 DC in next, alternating (1 DC, 2 DC). Join, ch 2, and turn.
