Reminiscent of the flapper style hats of the 1920s, this stylish crochet cloche pattern, with its feminine side tie, is quick, easy and fun to create!

Skill Level: With its simple shaping and stitches, I would rate this pattern as EASY. The hat is worked in rounds, while the side tie is worked in rows. The finished cloche will fit most women and teens.

Materials: You will need approximately 245 yards (225 m) of DK or light worsted weight yarn and a size I-9 (5.5 mm) hook. The yarn featured is 100% merino DK weight, with a gauge of approximately 12-17 sc = 4 inches (10 cm) on size 7-I (4.5 mm – 5.5 mm) hooks. You will also need a tapestry needle for finishing and working in yarn ends.
