Nora II Cloche
The Nora II is an enchanting version of my beloved Nora Cloche, expertly crafted using bulky weight yarn. This delightful cloche hat captures the charm of the Vintage era, featuring a playful cable-brim design that adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.
This versatile knitting pattern includes instructions for two stunning hats: one with an overlapping brim adorned with a decorative button, and another with a classic circular brim. Both styles offer a roomy fit, ensuring comfort and warmth for your head during the colder months.
One of the most exciting features of this pattern is that both brims can be created separately, allowing you to craft a stylish headband or ear warmer with just 95 yards of yarn. The multiple options make this pattern a fantastic choice for knitters looking to maximize their creativity and yarn stash.
Materials required for this project include U.S. Size 9 16-inch circular needles and double-pointed needles (dpns) for decreasing. To complete either hat, you will need approximately 140 yards of #5 bulky weight yarn, along with a cable needle or one of the U.S. Size 9 dpns. An optional decorative button and a stitch marker will also enhance your project.
Finished measurements for the hat include a generous 20-inch circumference with plenty of stretch, making it a comfortable accessory, and a height of 8 inches that provides ample coverage.
When it comes to gauge, aim for 16 stitches and 20 rows per 4 inches on size 9 needles in stockinette stitch. This will ensure your creations have the perfect fit and look.
The Nora II cloche pattern not only offers a range of stylish options but also provides a fun and rewarding knitting experience for crafters of all skill levels. Dive into this delightful project and elevate your wardrobe with a touch of vintage charm today!
