I had so many requests for all colors shapes and sizes 
My oldest nephew asked to make him a plain black BASIC Crochet Bucket Hat. 
Since then I have been inundated with his friends asking for one too! The 90s Bucket hat trend is Back! 

I have also made a more feminine crochet bucket hat for my daughter you can see the FREE women’s bucket hat pattern here 

And once my nephew wore his black bucket hat he loved it and said I was to write the pattern up for his friend’s mom to make one too so I wrote out this free crochet bucket hat pattern!

To crochet This Basic Bucket Hat  
Materials You will need: 

• just under 100g women’s institute black yarn ( or Similar ARAN WEIGHT) and a 5.00 mm hook

• Stitch markers – I use 12 small pieces of contrasting color yarn to mark my increases at the BRIM

The pattern is written in US terms 
How to size the Bucket hat to fit so to crochet him the basic bucket hat I would need to work out his measurements. 
He is medium in adult clothing size. 
The Top of the Bucket ( across the circumference ) (this is your Measurement around the head = divide by 3.14.  Round up to the nearest .5 of the number So his measurement was 23 inches around (adult)
 I will then divide this by 3.14 = 7.32  rounded up = 7.50 inches ( 7 and a half inches diameter across )
I rounded UP as I wanted a bit of giving in the pattern. 
I have written the pattern for you for this size however IF you wish to upsize I have included a small guide on how to do this
