Pattern Description:

Bears need accessories, too, right? I designed this little sun hat for a special little teddy bear, but it would also be a lovely addition to a doll's wardrobe. Inspired by floppy brimmed straw hats and crocheted with natural hemp cord, this hat has a rustic look, but adding a little ribbon and a few flowers gives it a romantically Victorian flair, especially with the ruffled brim. The hemp cord is sturdy enough that the hat holds its shape without starching and it's also strong enough to withstand extensive handling, so it is suitable for a child's toy as well as a purely decorative accessory.
