Description

Bell-shaped cloche hats are classic, feminine, and a great way to keep your ears protected on windy days. Here, a double strand of thick yarn creates a sturdy fabric that keeps its shape. Accent your cloche with a vintage brooch, fabulous button, or make the felt flower shown here. Be sure to use a yarn that gives a sturdy fabric at the recommended gauge, to keep the brim of the hat from drooping.
