Eight crochet bucket hats to make it feel like festival season again

Summer is just around the corner and with it the promise of better weather. It’s a pretty well known fact that vitamin D deficiency is a common problem amongst Irish people but tempting as it may be to rush straight out and perch yourself directly under the sun’s rays, doing so isn’t necessarily the best idea for your skin.

That doesn’t mean you have to live out your existence indoors à la Boo Radley though. Invest in a good sun cream and a chic, crochet bucket hat and you’re golden… or at least you will be soon. If they’re cool enough for Hailey Bieber, then they’re cool enough for us. 

Below are a few I’ve got my eye on.

Still unsure how to pull the festival classic off? Get inspiration here.
