Ladies’
Vintage Cloche
By: Southern Love Crochet
GAUGE:
10 rows, 9 HDC = 3 inches
YOU WILL NEED:
- Size I Hook
- Size F Hook
- 1 Skein Acrylic Worsted Weight Yarn (I use Red Heart Soft or Caron’s Simply Soft Yarn)
- 1 Contrasting Yarn (small amount, less than 1/8 skein)
- Tapestry Needle
- Pearl buttons or beads (4)
- Needle and thread (to match contrasting yarn)
To
begin: Using the Size “I” hook, CHAIN
2 (or use magic circle)
Row 1: In 2nd chain from hook, 8 HDC, sl
st in 1st hdc, ch 1 (8)
Row 2: 2 hdc in each hdc of row 1, slst in 1st
hdc of same row, ch 1 (16)
Row 3: *2 hdc in 1st hdc of row 2, 1 hdc in next hdc
of row 2, * *repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets, slst in 1st
hdc of row 3, ch. 1 (24)
***Now you will start to change the locations of your
increase stitches so that you will have a more rounded shape instead of
“corners” or a hexagonal shape.
*** You will also use a stitch marker to mark the first
stitch of each row as you will be
crocheting in the round until you
have 18 rows.
Row 4: *2 hdc in 1st st of previous row, 1 hdc, 1 hdc*, *repeat 7 more times* for a total of 8 sets (32) DO NOT JOIN!!
******PLEASE NOTE: after Row 4, any stitches before the *...* and
any stitches after, together form
another complete set, they are just broken up to vary the locations of your
increases. So, for each row, you are
actually crocheting a total of 8 sets of each sequence.
Row 5: hdc in each of the 1st 2 sts
of previous row, *2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 3 stitches*, *repeat
times 6 more times* and then 2 hdc, 1 hdc in last hdc. (40)
Row 6: 1 hdc in the 1st st of
previous row, then *2 hdc in next st, hdc
in next 4 sts,* *repeat 6 more times ,
then 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc each in last 3 sts to finish row. (48)
Row 7: hdc in each of 1st 4 sts of the previous row, then*2
hdc in the next st, hdc in next 5 sts*, *repeat
6 more times*, then 2 hdc in next st,
1 hdc in last st of round. (56)
Row 8: hdc in 1st 13 sts of previous row, then *2
hdc in next st, hdc in next 13 sts*,
*repeat 2 more times*, then 2 hdc in last st of row (60)
BODY:
Rows 9-18: HDC in each st around.
Join to 1st stitch in same row with slst, tie off
Change to contrasting color for band
BAND – Join contrast color
to previous row with a slst
Row 19: SC around , including 1st (sl st) (60)
Row 20: SC around
(60), sl st in 1st sc of row, tie off for color change
****For a thinner band, crochet only ONE ROW (19) using hdc
instead of
single crochet.
BRIM: Return to your original color
Row 21: Foundation to begin brim: join to band with slst and sc in any stitch, sc
around., sl st to join to 1st sc,, (60)
ROW 22: hdc in joining
st, 2 hdc next, continue 1 hdc, 2 hdc
around, sl st to join to 1st hdc (90)
ROW 23: hdc in
joining st and all st around (90); join with slst to first st of row and tie
off.
(if you would like a wider brim, add additional rows. If you do so, I recommend that you do an
increase on row 24 to keep the wave in the brim: {*8 hdc, 2hdc* x 10}
(100 stitches total)
TRIM:
change back to
contrast color
Begin anywhere on the brim:
Slst in first hdc of brim, then 1 ½ sc in
next HDC, continue alternating slst and 1 ½ sc around.
Join
to 1st slst, tie off.
*Pictures and instructions below
for 1 ½ sc*
*1 ½ Stitch Explained: (see close up pictures below and on next
page)
**1 ½
stitch: when you normally crochet in a
HDC, you slip your hook right under the top two threads. There is always one thread immediately below
these top two stitches (I call it the “filler”) and above where the stitch
joins the previous row. Alternate with
slst around.
For a 1 ½ sc, insert hook around 3 threads instead of the normal top 2. (see the 3rd thread?)
FLOWERS:
Use same yarn as contrast and Size F Hook
(Larger if you want larger flowers)
This calls for a magic circle.
If you don’t use the magic circle you can do
this: just chain 3, instead of two (this
would be your chain two in your first petal of the flower} then begin your DC
in the very 1st chain]. I do
it both ways and they turn out the same.
Begin with Magic
Circle (leave a tail of about 4-5
inches for attaching flowers to hat)
First Petal: Chain 2, 2 DC, Chain 2, sl st to circle;
REPEAT THREE MORE TIMES (total 4 petals)
After final slst, CLOSE THE MAGIC CIRCLE, then from your
final slst, cut off leaving another tail
of about4- 5 inches, tie both tails together, tightly, double knot. Use tails to connect flower to hat.
Make four (4) flowers
total.
LEAF: (make as many as you
want, I use two)
Chain 12
SC in 4th
ch from hook, then sc, hdc x 3, sc, skip
2 chains, then slst in last chain. Tie
off.

Thank you so much! I have a shawl coming soon. I teach during the year but it is almost summer break so I hope that I will have to design more patterns and build up this blog. I hope to also make that hat in a soft cotton for the summer. If you make one, Lee Ann, please share it with me! Again, thank you!

ReplyDeleteLove the hat pattern! My first time on your blog also, Looking forward to more,
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling hat! I've never crocheted hat, but think I can handle your pattern. Thank you for sharing your pattern and making it easy for a beginner to follow. This is my first visit to your blog and I look forward to visiting you again.
ReplyDeleteIf I make your hat, I will send you a picture.
Happy Hooking - Bobbie :)
Great hat pattern. Just saw you on one of the crochet groups and hopped on over to your blog. My current blog is http://knottedthreadsandyarn.blogspot.com. Hope you will stop,by sometime, I signed on as an EmaIl Follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI am making this for my son-in-laws mother. She is fighting her second battle with breast cancer. It is my first hat project.
ReplyDeleteThis hat is adorable and I am going to get the yarn for it in the morning! Thank you for sharing it!!!!

ReplyDeleteI noticed that you have a very different way of writing the part where you have to repeat the stitches between the * *. You should put the actual stitches between the * * not the words Repeat 6 more times between the * *. That is how most patterns are written. It just makes it a little easier for most people to read and understand. For example: last part of Row 5 should read *2hdc in next hdc, 3 hdc in next three stitches* Repeat from * to * 6 times. I hope you understand what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThere is a mistake on row 5 of this pattern. The stitch count is wrong at the end of the row. If you have 7 stitches in the sequence and you repeat it 6 times its a total of 42 not 40 stiches.
ReplyDeletemake that 43 for the stitch count on row 5. I forgot to count the last hdc in last stitch.
ReplyDeleteIn fact the stitch counts are off on most all of the rows because you don't know how to multiply I guess. 6 stitches x 7 repititions is 42 plus the last 5 stitches is a total of 47 stitches for row 6! not 48. I think you need to rewrite this whole pattern my dear.

ReplyDeleteSo when do you start to use the F hook? I don't see any changes to use it in the pattern. On the brim?
