Nora 2 Cloche
Introducing the Nora 2, a delightful version of my popular Nora Cloche knitting pattern. Crafted using cozy, bulky yarn, the Nora 2 is designed to knit up quickly, making it an ideal project for knitters of all levels. This charming cloche embodies the elegance of the Vintage era, complete with a playful cable brim that adds a unique flair to your wardrobe.
This versatile pattern features two distinct hat designs: one showcases an overlapping brim adorned with a decorative button, while the other presents a chic circular brim. Both styles offer a roomy fit, ensuring comfort for all head sizes. Plus, the brims can be knitted independently, transforming them into stylish headbands or ear warmers that require only 95 yards of yarn—perfect for those looking to make quick gifts!
With this pattern, the possibilities are endless! Whether you choose to knit the complete cloche or opt for a fashionable accessory, the Nora 2 is sure to please.
**Materials Needed:** You will need U.S. Size 9 16-inch circular needles and double-pointed needles (dpns) for decreasing. Approximately 140 yards of #5 bulky weight yarn is required for either hat. You may also use a cable needle or one of the U.S. Size 9 dpns for the cable stitch, along with a stitch marker to keep track of your progress.
**Finished Measurements:** The Nora 2 cloche has a comfortable circumference of 20 inches, with plenty of stretch to accommodate various head sizes, and stands 8 inches tall, providing ample coverage during colder months.
**Gauge:** To achieve the perfect fit, maintain a gauge of 16 stitches x 20 rows per 4 inches when using size 9 needles in stockinette stitch.
