Do you remember my post about my Classic Cloche? Well, someone left a comment and asked for the pattern. Unfortunately, I did not write the pattern down as I made it. (That's not the first time for that. Maybe I'll learn my lesson this time.) I sold the hat so all I had were pictures to re-create from. I think it came out pretty close, if not the same.
Materials:
- Size I crochet hook
- 4ply worsted weight yarn
- ch = chain
- ea = each
- hdc = half double crochet
- st = stitch
- rep = repeat
- rnd = round
Start with a magic circle, ch 1
Rnd 1: 7 hdc in ring, join with a slip stitch(7hdc)
Rnd 2: ch 1, 2 hdc in ea st around, join (14hdc)
Rnd 3: ch 1, *1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join (21hdc)
Rnd 4: ch 1, *1 hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join (28hdc)
Rnd 5: ch 1, *1 hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join (35hdc)
Rnd 6: ch 1, *1 hdc in next 4 sts, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join (42hdc)
Rnd 7: ch 1, *1 hdc in next 5 sts, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join (49hdc)
Rnd 8: ch 1, *1 hdc in next 6 sts, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join (56hdc)
Rnd 9: ch 1, 1 hdc in ea st around, join (56hdc)
Rnd 10-17 : rep Rnd 9 (for a longer or shorter hat do more or less rows)
Rnd 18: ch 1, in back loops only, *1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st* rep around, join
Rnd 19: ch 1, 1 hdc in ea st around, join.
Rnd 20-21: rep Rnd 19, fasten off.
Adornment:
You can adorn your cloche with strands of yarn or crocheted flowers or anything you want, really. Here are examples of how I did it with the strands. It's actually the yarn I had left over.
Here is a picture of my first Classic Cloche if you missed that post:
I don't remember how much yarn it was, but i just folded them evenly, wrapped it around the hat and tied it in a knot. Then I twisted the yarn around itself to make the shape and I secured the yarn with fabric glue. I didn't glue it to the hat itself because I wanted the adornment to be removable.
You could also let the strands hang down for a different look. These strands came out to be about 3 feet long. I counted 8 strands, but I didn't cut the yarn, it's just folded. You can play with it and come up with something new.
I love seeing finished products from my patterns. If you want to be featured on my blog with your finished items, just shoot me an email. If you don't want to be featured but still want to send me pics, that's great too! Just let me know in the email if you want me to post your pics or not.

What an adorable hat. I can see myself wearing this.
Thanks for sharing your work and talent with us. I love love LOVE your hats, so far I'm making this for a friend and the sun floppy hat for my best friend. She works in the sun a lot and will love that hat! Thanks so much, just gorgeous!

Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern. Found it yesterday and just finished my second hat!
Just finished my first of many with this pattern, worked it up in an evening. Thanks for your help! I am about to work on the adornment! I like it fancy
~Sugar
I would like to try this pattern with a different kind of wool, could you give the gauge?
Thank you so much for this pattern. It worked perfectly!
Great pattern--so simple and chic! I just finished one in grey and I can't wait to wear it tomorrow!
I've only been crocheting for about a month--this was so easy to follow and make.
Thanks so much for sharing! ;)
I'm new to crocheting and this looks fantastic! But I'm a bit confused about how to connect the rows and the stitches. I started once but it seemed too small. Can you offer any help? Thanks!
Thank so much for this incredibly lovely pattern! I chose it to highlight on my blog (www.kids-in-kahoots.com) on Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Just gorgeous!
Loooove it!!! Pleeeease email me for resizing instructions for making it fit a 1 yr old girl approximately 15-17 inches. My email's tickledpurple@mail.com
I just finished mine, and came up beautiful. It was very easy to crochet, but I had a hard time making the adornment (the strand didn't behaved, and I don´t like glue). So I just made a braid out of 3 strands of yarn, and made a crochet button. I'll send you a picture. One more thing, I increased to 60 stitches at rows 16 and 17 because it was fitting too tight, but it came out well. Thanks!
Thanks to everyone for trying my pattern!
Ana, I can't wait to see your picture!
I DID IT... YAAYY!!! Your pattern was very easy to follow!! THANK YOU so much!!! I love my hat!!! :)
So I started to make this hat but it was so tiny everyone thought I was making a baby hat. HELP???!!! I've been told that I crochet extremely tight. I've tried to create looser stitches but to no avail. I've only just started to read patterns within the last week so I wouldn't have any clue as to how to modify the pattern to make it work. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you
Hi Elaina! What kind of yarn are you using? To make it bigger, you can use a bigger hook, a heavier yarn, or both. You could also increase the first rounds number of stitches and adjust the pattern from there. I hope that helps!
I'm having difficult understand what exact I am supposed to repeat in round 3.. No matter how I seem to do it I can not make the round come out to be 21 hdc. I keep cpmomg io shout of the round. Is the repeated pattern 1hd 2hd 1hec 2hdc all the way around or something else? Please help I'm trying to make this hat on a time crunch. Thanks!
-Rose
Hello Rosie,
Yes, for round 3 you will first make your chain 1, then repeat 1 hdc then 2 hdc all the way around. That will make an increase of 7, which should come out to 21. If you need more help, email me at daperfectmix@gmail.com
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I love this pattern! I had difficulty finding a pattern that worked for me. Thank you so much for posting this!
I am just about to try your pattern but have a quick question. I love what appears to be a little more of a brim ion the maroon colired hat over the one on the gray....how do I get that " little more" brim? Also, I am making it for me 4 year old Grandaughter....should the size be right with this pattern or will I need to change something? Please email. tashafer@yahoo.com. Thanks!
I found your cloche pattern when I decided I had to make a red, white, and blue hat for President Obama's second Inauguration. I wanted to crochet the Obama logo starting out and then make the rest white except for a red, white, and blue brim. I ended up making the red stripes of the Obama logo with red marker--kind of primitive but easier than trying to crochet them in--and I added a three-strand drawstring between the hat and the brim which I just tied in a bow so I could adjust it to keep the hat tight over my ears. I used Sugar 'n Cream red, white, and blue cotton yarn and just changed colors whenever I had to. I then pinned all my Obama pins on the white part of the hat and started a matching scarf which I worked on while waiting in the crowd and didn't finish till I got home. I got many compliments on the hat, even though it isn't quite as elegant as yours, and I will save it forever. Thanks for such a great pattern. I will email you pictures but there are more in my Facebook photo album which anyone can see: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4878296748363.2176732.1025822061&type=3
Thank you so much for this pattern. I have been rapidly throwing together hats for a friend of my daughter who is going through chemo right now and this pattern was quick and easy to follow. Thanks again.
So glad to have found this pattern, making it for a donation to Cancer Center at UNC
Thanks for the share, shaping instructions are always welcome!
So beautiful, I love it! Thanks for your sharing! I made one in and I can't wait to do more!
Thanks so much for the pattern! I've made two for my niece today. I love that the brim position and accessory placement can totally change the look of the hat. She'll have two hats that are the same pattern but still quite different. I can't wait to see her in them! Love it. :-) Thanks!
Thanks for visiting! I hope she loves her new hats!
Thanks for the pattern I made 2. I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the link where you can see the pink one: http://crisscrochet.com/classic-cloche-crochet-pattern/
Crisscrochet, your cloche is beautiful! I love the color and the ribbon!
Such a great looking hat. Does it take just one skein of ww?
Thank you! Yes, just one skein.
I REALLY love this pattern, thank you! I've made 3 hats so far. Two were done just as written and one I adjusted the last 2 rows as my mother-in-law wanted a bit more brim... She LOVED it!
Can I post a couple of pictures?
do you have a youtube video for this I'm a visual learner love the hat thanks
I haven't had a chance to make a video for this one yet, but if you send me your email address I could let you know when it's done. Or you could always check back here on the blog.
Love your pattern and I can't wait to try it. I have some thicker yarns on hand,so I was wondering if you could give me some specifics on the yarn you used.
I used a worsted weight yarn. If you use a thicker yarn you will most likely get a larger hat which may be a good thing since some have said that this hat is a little on the small side.
Thank you for your help!
This pattern is awesome for cancer patients. I make them up and take them in to our local cancer center.
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I will try to make this hat soon so it can be ready for fall.
Did anyone block the brim of the hat? I was thinking of using a fabric stiffener, any thoughts on that?
That's a good idea, Susie! Then the brim won't be so floppy. It will stay where you put it. Let us know how it turns out.
Are all the rounds joined with a slip stitch where it says to join
Yes, join with a slip stich for all joins.
What do u slip stich with, a needle?
You slip stitch with your crochet hook. When you come to the end of a round, insert your hook into the first stitch of the round, yarn over, pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook.
Beautiful; thank you for sharing your work and the pattern with us. I am going to make one in a few weeks.
What a great pattern for a quick, cute, lovely, crochet hat. Now, to figure how to make it for an adult (instead of 56 I may go to 72 stitches.) Thank you for sharing your pattern.
