Matilda & Tillie

Explore the perfect hats for chilly seasons with our close-fitting wool cloche hats, meticulously designed to keep out cold and blustery winds. Crafted from a luxurious heather mohair blend yarn, these hats not only provide warmth but also enhance your vintage style. The unique crown and brim colors display subtle variations depending on the angle and lighting, making them a versatile accessory for any outfit. With tiny flecks of multiple colors woven into the fabric, these cloche hats complement almost any color palette in your wardrobe, ensuring they are the ideal finishing touch for cold-weather ensembles.

These hats are also incredibly travel-friendly, easily fitting into a coat pocket or bag without losing their shape. Plus, you can personalize them effortlessly with pins, brooches, and various decorations, allowing for unique expressions of style. The crown is ingeniously knitted from the top down, ending just above the ears for optimal warmth, while the brim is crafted separately as a long bias strip, incorporating increases and decreases to shape it beautifully as you knit. This brim is then skillfully sewn to the crown, ensuring both durability and style.

To add an extra touch of elegance, a simple knit i-cord or crocheted cord trims the hat and effectively covers the seam, finishing your creation with finesse. Our Matilda style features a classic plain brim, perfect for a sophisticated look, while the Tillie showcases a stylish shaped brim with a knit-in hem, which can be comfortably worn with the narrowed edge either at the back—allowing for easy layering with jackets and coats—or at the side, adding a touch of retro flair.

For those interested in customizing fit, we provide tips on adjusting the pattern to ensure the perfect size for any individual.
