A Crochet Sun Hat Pattern

"Red Hat Society"

Think about a crochet sun hat pattern made up in red and purple. If you make it up in these colors for the red hat ladies you will have a hot selling item.

The Red Hat Society Ladies

Red and purple are the colors for these items and they sell very well.

These fun ladies love their hats and are always on the look out for new ones. You can change a crochet pattern very easily. Crochet it up in red and add a purple sash.

Or the opposite will work well also. You can add red and purple feathers for accent and they will love it.

The Red Hat Society is everywhere and the items made up for these ladies are almost limitless.

Make up your own pattern

Find a crocheted hat pattern you like and make the brim smaller. Or use the wide brim; add a sash and pin up one side with a flower or feather.

You can also make up a hat pattern and sell the pattern itself. Many of these ladies also crochet. Don't forget to make up some samples for an eye catching display.
