Mary's Summer Vintage Cloche
Introducing Mary’s Summer Cloche, a delightful lightweight knitting pattern inspired by the iconic hats of the 1920s. This summery design showcases versatility, allowing you to style the brim with a playful flip at the front, sides, or back. When worn down, the brim offers a gentle flair, adding a touch of elegance to your summer wardrobe. The unique construction features a random stitch technique that creates a brim that is both firm and stretchy, ensuring it retains its shape without rolling. For added visual interest, an airy mesh inset is beautifully knitted into the design, followed by more random stitching and another mesh section that echoes the first inset, creating a harmonious look.
The Mary Summer Cloche is not just a stylish accessory; it’s also a fantastic stash-buster, making it perfect for utilizing leftover yarn. While the featured sample is knitted with 100% cotton, this versatile cloche pattern works exceptionally well with various fibers, including wool blends and acrylic yarns, giving you endless possibilities to express your creativity.
