This handmade raffia hat is the perfect summer accessory - lightweight, breathable, and naturally stylish. The warm-weather essential you'll reach for all season long.

Picture yourself in a breezy, sun-protective hat made from natural raffia fiber. This intermediate-level pattern creates a classic wide-brim style that works with everything from beach cover-ups to casual sundresses. The natural tan color goes with any outfit, and the organic raffia material keeps you cool even on the hottest days. This makes a thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who loves gardening, beach trips, or outdoor festivals. It's also perfect for yourself if you want a go-to summer hat that actually fits your head properly (because let's be honest, store-bought hats never do). The natural materials give it that artisan, farmer's market vibe that's impossible to find in mass-produced accessories. With about 7 hours of work, you'll have a wearable piece that looks way more expensive than the materials cost. The pattern works up relatively quickly for a wearable item, and you'll have something you can actually use and show off all summer.
