The cloche hat instructions come in three sizes; Small, medium, and large.

The whole piece is worked in a spiral, in the round in single crochet with RS facing throughout. It is therefore not joined with a slst at the end of each round. The bow is also worked with the brim of the hat as a continued one piece with cap.

Although I have given instructions on how to stiffen the brim edge, this is not essential.

You will find this round-by-round pattern instruction is easy and relaxing to recreate.

Raffia has not been used as I prefer something softer on my head, but nothing stops you from using raffia as a substitute, as long as you watch your gauge.

The front decoration is optional and you can put anything or nothing at all.

The original shown has silk flowers attached and application instructions are also given
