I recently wrote an article for AP about Liesl Gibson and her book, “Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew,” featuring the bucket hat I’ve made a few times this summer. Liesl was extremely nice and very interesting to talk to. Here’s a link to my story, which includes a link to download the hat pattern and instructions:

And here are some photos of the hats I made to go with the story. That’s my adorable niece modeling for me. The blue hat reverses to the blue spaceship print, the green reverses to the orange robot print and the yellow reverses to the red and white hippo print. For the yellow/red version, I pressed a bit of the yellow lining to the outside edge of the brim and it sort of looks like piping. Of course, that means the yellow lining is a bit skewed, but that might be something worth trying again, maybe making the lining brim piece a bit bigger so it could wrap around to the front.
