Somebody crocheted an entire hat by hand. Meanwhile, the rest of us are struggling to finish a podcast.
Made from naturally dyed cabuya plant fiber, this checkered bucket hat brings a little old-fashioned craftsmanship to the thoroughly modern business of avoiding the sun. Each one is crocheted by hand in small batches by a group of women artisans, giving the familiar checkerboard pattern a texture and character that machines tend to miss. The flexible, packable construction makes it easy to bring along, while a movable 3–4-inch brim and elastic inner band help keep things comfortable and adjustable. It's playful, practical, and a pretty good reminder that sometimes the person making the thing is the most interesting part of the thing.
