Mom ’n Me Cloche Hats
The word "cloche" comes from French, meaning bell. The charming cloche hat, popularized during the vibrant flapper era, is a snug-fitting, bell-shaped accessory that can be fashioned with or without a brim. This delightful knitting pattern includes six versatile sizes, ranging from “Newborn” to “Women XL,” making it perfect for creating adorable matching hats for both moms and their little ones in a stylish duo.
Each size of the cloche hat features three elegant lace pattern repeats, ensuring a unique and beautiful design for every maker. Crafters will find detailed, individual written instructions for each size, along with a complete chart illustrating one lace repeat specific to that size. The art of lace knitting involves techniques such as yarnover increases and various familiar decreases, so if you're already comfortable with lace knitting or ready to embrace a new challenge, you're in for an enjoyable and rewarding experience with this pattern.
The sample cloche hats are crafted using Red Heart Supersaver yarn, achieving a gauge of 17 stitches = 4"/10cm. However, any comparable worsted weight yarn will work beautifully as well. You can create at least three charming hats for both mom and the young girls in your family from just one 7 oz. skein of Supersaver yarn, making this an economical choice for your knitting projects.
This fashionable cloche hat pattern not only makes a gorgeous accessory but also serves as an ideal gift for baby showers, birthday parties, or family gatherings. Plus, the pattern includes printable gift tags, adding a personal touch to your handmade gifts. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this cloche hat pattern is sure to inspire creativity and bring joy to both the maker and the recipient!
