Spring-y Cloche (that's a type of hat)


i had a small amount of super bright green.. i think it's Caron Simply Soft Brites, probly about 3 oz. it was such a weirdo funky color green that it had to be made into a hat for me :)
i used an aluminum size I hook (US)

Make a magic ring

1) Make 12 sc in ring, join and pull tight. (i join at the end of my rounds no matter what, since i don't mind the seam, but you don't have to)

2) Make 2 sc in each sc around. (24 sc around)

3) sc in each sc around.

4) sc in first sc, 2sc in next. (sc in sc, 2 sc in next) around. (36 sc around)

5) sc in each sc around.

6) sc in first two sc, 2sc in next. (sc in next two sc, 2sc in next) around. (48 sc around)

7) sc in each sc around.

8) sc in first three sc, 2sc in next. (sc in next 3 sc, 2sc in next) around. (60 sc around)

9) sc in each sc around.

10) sc in first four sc, 2sc in next. (sc in next 4 sc, 2sc in next) around. (72 sc around)

11) sc in each sc around.

12) sc in first five sc, 2sc in next. (sc in next 5 sc, 2sc in next) around. (84 sc around)

13-38) sc in each sc around. (84 sc around)

this is not the first nor will it be the last hat pattern of its kind. there are a ton of "cloche" or "flapper hat" patterns out there. mine is just a simple version of a 20s clothing accesory which i choose to share here in case anyone is interested in my method.

make, share, etsy/ebay, donate, but do not mass produce for profit. do not sell this pattern. do not redistribute this pattern. please link back to share. feel free to print a copy of the pattern.
