Panama Hats for the Summer

Have you noticed all the pretty pictures of the sweet little crochet panama hats for girls?  Not too many of them have patterns that are easy to find, much less free {read – Yeah I’m cheap}

I don’t have a little tike at home, but I wanted to try making one.

I used Schachenmayr Original Catania 100% cotton yarn in Apple Green (color 0205)

Here is my almost finished result.

I just have to crochet some flowers from my pile of cotton yarns, attach them and then figure out how to block it.

I used a free pattern/chart from My Little City Girl for The Garden Party crochet hat.

Sizes are given for infant, child and adult.

Are you planning to crochet a few summer panamas?  What pattern will you use?
