Dapper Cloche

Pattern $5.00 -- Downloadable PDF

        

A herringbone stitch pattern creates rich texture in this stylish cloche hat. Cloche style hats are wonderful for framing your face and keeping your ears warm. This style with a half brim is especially flattering, and can be dressed up with a ribbon rose (instructions included) or another pretty brooch. Best of all, the brim is constructed completely of knit fabric – no plastic insert! – so it’s soft and flexible.
