ESC Simple Summer Sun Hat for the Fashion Doll ~ FREE Crochet Pattern

The finished size is designed to fit a Barbie doll. However, using a different yarn and hook size can increase the size if you need something for a slightly larger doll.

As for the yarn, I used Butterfly Mercerized Cotton, which has since been discontinued.
