I had so much fun making this pattern. I’ve tried a few sun hat patterns in the past,and while they were good ,they just weren’t what I wanted.
Fortunately for me, I have a vacation coming up. I needed a sun hat and a cowboy hat,so my Versa pattern was born. I wanted my cowboy hat to have smooth curves and lines,but I wanted a cleaner,sharper edge on my sun hat,something more reminiscent of Indiana Jones or Crocodile DunDee. So this pattern has options for for both.It allows you to really customize your hat. I also give tips and suggestions on making it into more than a cowboy or sun hat. The possibilities really are endless! Enjoy!
