Free Crochet Pattern: Charmed Cloche

 

Charmed Cloche

This pretty cloche hat is perfect for a mother/daughter photo shoot or just to wear on a cool Spring day. The flower is purely optional, but adds a touch of whimsical flair. The stitch pattern is an easy repeat that adds a bit of texture in a soft way. 

For a beanie look, you can eliminate the last two rounds of the hat and end it at the band.

 

And if you’d like a set, take a look at the fingerless gloves and cowl too!

• Worsted weight yarn such as Caron Simply Soft or Red Heart Soft

Abbreviations: ch = chain, sl = slip, st = stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet

Third Loop: Where noted, certain rounds of this pattern are worked into the third loop found on the back of the HDC stitch. This is the strand of yarn that runs horizontally just below the back loop of the stitch. To see what the third loop looks like, check out this video tutorial on Moogly: http://bit.ly/1PRjR0n

Special Instructions:

• The hat and flower can be started with a Magic Ring or with the instructions given in Round 1.
• The beginning chain does not count as a stitch.
• Each round is started in the same stitch as your beginning chain.
• The end of each round is joined by slip stitching in the first stitch of the round, not the beginning chain.
• The flower instructions can be found at the end of the post.
