This white floppy sun hat is an easy crochet hat pattern that will look cute on your little one.

I was inspired to make this floppy sun hat for my infant daughter! I don’t want the sun in her eyes this summer. My daughter will look so cute wearing this floppy sun hat. This design that I create for this hat will keep the sun out of her eyes and give her shade. I made a little flower to give the floppy sun hat some flare and make it more girly!
