Knit in Contrepoint® N.1, the Chamade bucket hat is made to wear all year round.
Its stretch, breathable, UV-resistant yarn keeps you cool in summer, warm in winter — and always comfortable.

No seams, no stiff edges. Just a smooth circular knit that adapts to any head shape.
Never too tight, never too loose.

Bonus: a great project to repurpose leftover yarns in a two-tone or multicolour version.

The Bucket hat is an intermediate-level project with a guided and engaging knitting journey.

Worked in the round in seed stitch and stockinette, it’s a rhythmic knit that takes shape quickly through the steady use of carefully selected techniques.

A great introduction to hat construction (brim, body, crown) and the perfect opportunity to explore different types of decreases, step by step.

After finishing your knit, the best way to care for it is a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild, bleach-free detergent. No soaking..
To remove excess water, press it lightly between two towels. Don’t wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or any heat source.

Machine washing is possible on a delicate cycle (30 °C max, low spin), ideally inside a protective laundry bag to reduce friction. We recommend the GUPPYFRIEND® bag, designed to protect fibers and capture microplastics.

Avoid tumble drying, dry cleaning, and ironing.
