Virginia Cloche

**Create Your Own 1920s-Inspired Cloche Hat: The Virginia Knitting Pattern** Knitted from the top of the crown down, the Virginia is a stunning cloche hat inspired by the elegant styles of the 1920s. Featuring a unique asymmetrical brim, this fashionable accessory is knitted using worsted weight yarn at a tighter-than-recommended gauge. This technique ensures a firm and durable fabric that holds its shape beautifully, eliminating the need for additional felting. What sets Virginia apart from the Ginger pattern is its shorter crown, contrasting band, and distinctive stockinette brim. Personalize your cloche by adding a brooch or a decorative button for that perfect touch of flair! When selecting your size for this delightful cloche hat, choose one that closely matches your actual head circumference for the best fit. If you find yourself between sizes or prefer a slightly snugger look, we recommend sizing down. For reference, the Adult Small size is shown on a head circumference of 22.5 inches. **Skills Needed:** To successfully craft the Virginia cloche, you'll need to be comfortable with knitting in the round, mastering increasing techniques, navigating short rows, and completing an i-cord bind-off (complete directions are provided in the pattern). Embrace your creativity and add a touch of vintage charm to your wardrobe with the Virginia cloche hat knitting pattern. Perfect for experienced knitters and adventurous beginners alike, this pattern is an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire!
