Free Crochet Daisy Granny Bucket Hat Pattern You'll Be Excited to Make
The standout feature of this hat is its daisy inspired design. The daisy motifs, framed by soft granny square borders, add a vintage flair, while the pentagon shaped crown finish gives a slight modern twist. The curved brim not only enhances its look but also adds practicality, providing some shade on sunny days. Beyond being stylish, it’s a functional accessory for casual events, outdoor adventures, or even as a thoughtful handmade gift.
In terms of the process, the hat is built in sections, starting with floral motifs. Techniques such as magic rings, double crochets, and cluster stitching come together seamlessly to form individual daisies, which are later enhanced with a granny square frame. These are joined to create the hat’s structure, topped with a pentagon that allows for a snug yet flexible fit. The brim is added with thoughtfully placed stitches to flare just enough for a beautiful finish.
This project isn’t just about making a hat, it’s about stitching warmth and joy into every piece of yarn. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, this hat is a charming addition to your collection.

The Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Daisy Center
- Begin with yellow thread: Create a magic ring.
- Work 3 chains as the first DC.
- Crochet 11 DCs inside the magic ring for a total of 12 stitches.
- Pull the loose yarn to tighten the ring completely.
- Close the circle with a Sl St in the 3rd chain of the initial Ch 3.
Step 2: Daisy Petals
- Switch to white yarn for petals.
- Insert your hook into any stitch of the yellow center and pull up a loop.
- Ch 3.
- Into the same stitch:
- Work 3 half DC stitches, stopping halfway through each stitch (leave loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook, forming the petal.
- Make 2 chains to separate petals. Skip 1 stitch from the center and crochet the next petal in the following stitch.
- Continue this pattern (petal + 2 chains) until you have 12 petals.
- Close with a Sl St in the stitch following the initial Ch-3.
Step 3: Granny Squares
- Switch to pastel blue yarn.
- Insert hook into any of the Ch 2 gaps between petals to begin shaping the granny.
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 DC), then work 2 DCs into the same gap.
- Ch 2, and work 3 DCs into the same gap for the first corner. This forms the initial side of the granny square.
- In the next Ch 2 gap, work 3 HDC, then Ch 1 as a spacer.
- In the next Ch 2 gap, work another 3 HDC, followed by Ch 1.
- In the next Ch 2 gap, make another corner by working: 3 DCs, Ch 2, 3 DCs.
- Repeat this sequence (2 side groups of HDC stitches, 1 corner with DCs) until you complete the square.
- Join back to the first corner with a Sl St.
- Crochet 3 rows for adult size, following the same corner and side stitching pattern. Only 2 rows are required for children’s sizes.
Step 4: Pentagon Granny
- Create another daisy center using yellow yarn (12 DCs in magic ring).
- Add white petals using the same method as before, but now create 15 petals (use every stitch of the yellow center evenly).
- Switch to pastel blue. Instead of forming a square, work into the Ch 2 gaps to make a pentagon:
- Each corner: 3 DCs, Ch 2, 3 DCs.
- Sides: 3 HDCs, Ch 1.
- Continue working for 3 rows per pentagon for adult size. Only 2 rows are required for youth sizes.
Step 5: Assembly
Joining Granny Squares
- Lay out your 5 granny squares and pentagon.
- Use slip stitches to join granny squares along edges. Align each corner with precision as you stitch.
- Once joined into a circular shape, attach the pentagon to the top by joining sides similarly with Sl St.
Step 6: Brim
Row 1:
- Insert yarn into any remaining Ch 2 gap of the hat’s base.
- Ch 3 to form the first DC.
- Work 3 DCs into each chain gap, moving continuously around the circular edge.
- Close the row with a Sl St in the 3rd chain of the initial Ch 3.
Row 2:
- Work 1 DC into every stitch around the brim, without any chain spacers.
- Close the row with a Sl St.
Row 3:
- Begin increasing:
- Work 2 DCs into the first stitch, followed by 1 DC in the next stitch.
- Alternate [increase, 1 DC] all around.
- Close the row with a Sl St.
Row 4:
- Work simple DCs into every stitch without additional increases.
- Close and fasten off with a tight Sl St, then weave in the ends.
Assembly and Finished Size
- Adult Size: 22–23 inches circumference with a sturdy brim.
- Youth Size: Reduced rows for both grannies and brim make for a snug fit.
