The Bootlegger's Bonnet

Introducing the Bootleggers Bonnet, a modern twist on the timeless cloche silhouette. This simple yet iconic hat is perfect for transitioning from season to season, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire. The stylish design features a brim that’s meant to be worn low on the forehead, imparting an air of mystery and sophistication to the wearer. With a delicate zig zag stitch band and charming accents, this bonnet beautifully embraces the art deco theme.

Craft this unique hat in cozy wool for the winter months or opt for a lightweight cotton blend to keep cool during the warmer seasons. Whether you’re looking to make a fashion statement or simply keep warm, the Bootleggers Bonnet is an excellent choice.

When customizing, feel free to attach your favorite embellishment to the left side, although traditional styling typically places decorative items on the right. This classic hat is usually worn low, partially covering the eyes, which encourages the wearer to tilt their head back and peer snootily down their nose—perfect for adding a touch of playful drama to your outfit! You can embrace the whimsical charm of this cloche hat and enjoy peering snootily as much or as little as you desire!
