Visors are great for keeping the sun out and for keeping heads cool. I designed this visor several years ago and still make some each spring and summer for gifts. I love including several flowers to interchange for a pop of color. 
Adjustable Visor Pattern
An ad-free, downloadable PDF of these patterns with all of the photos is available to purchase from my Ravelry Shop: Click HERE
Materials Yarn: worsted weight cotton or acrylic Crochet Hook: H hook Miscellaneous: yarn needle, two buttons ¾” – 1” Gauge: 4″ = 15 sc Sizes: adjustable to fit toddler to small child (approx. 21”), child to adult (approx. 23”) Other sizes: This pattern is very adjustable. I prefer to make my visors 1-2” longer then the head measurement for the band to overlap. For smaller sizes, start with fewer chains. Note: The band part of the visor is crocheted using one strand of yarn. The visor is crocheted holding two strands of yarn. If you are using a cone of cotton you will want to wind off a ball of yarn to use when you reach the visor section. Crochet the visor more snug than normal.

Button Closure: Sew one or two buttons to the end of the band without the button holes. I prefer two buttons for more adjustability. If working with cotton yarn, it will stretch and the second button will help until the piece can be wet and back to shape. Finger shaping: As with most crochet, I like to finger shape or slightly tug my piece into shape. I think this brim has a nice shape on its own, but you may need to help shape it with your fingers.
Flower Pattern
This is one of my favorite flowers. I love making them to slip over a button or with a solid center to attach to items. The pattern is free: Fast and Fun Flower
