ESC Simple Summer Sun Hat for the Fashion Doll

Perhaps it’s a bit late in the season to publish this, but I don’t think Barbie will know the difference. And I’m sure the little girls will enjoy dressing her up in her summer outfit from time to time even in the winter months.

And the best part is that it works up quick and easy, so you can make a few to go with every one of her summer outfits.

Plus, it’s a great stashbuster for your smallest amounts of DK weight yarn.
