Classy Cloche Hat Pattern to Crochet

Anyone who knows basic crochet stitches and terminology can crochet a custom hat in colors and pattern of their choice. Crochet hats make great gifts and can be paired with scarves and this fingerless glove pattern to complete the set. They work up quickly, so make several to coordinate with all of your winter wear, and keep a few in neutral colors on hand in your gift closet for those inevitable occasions when a last minute need pops up.

This simple cloche has no brim and fits snugly to the head. The pattern is worked with two stitches in one space which makes the hat a bit thicker and warmer without being clunky.

Skill Level: Easy

Materials Needed:

Approx 2 oz worsted weight yarn
Size J crochet hook
Large needle to weave in ends

Abbreviations Used:

Ch = chain
Sp = space
St = stitch
SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
SS = slip stitch
