Summer hat with shell stitch brim

 

This hat is very easy and quick to make as the initial work is done using half double crochet and starts constructing like a beanie then takes the shapes of the bucket hat with the shell stitch. A hat to try.

To control the size of the hat whether small or big as this is for medium, you can either increase or decrease the number of rounds in the initial flat circle.
