Rosier Cloche

Chic, fashionable, timeless. The cloche was invented in 1908 and especially popular in the 1920s. Derived from the French word for "bell", the cloche is meant to be worn low on the forehead and conformed to the head.

This knit version can be styled in 4 different ways - as a cloche, a bonnet, a bucket hat, or as a cap with the bill in front.

This traditionally shaped "bell" cloche is designed to fit close to the head.

The generous brim is doubled for structure and can be worn in a number of ways.

Knit the body of the hat in any stitch pattern with texture and shape the crown to fit with 4 or more gores.

Felting anyone??

Convert the KnitPicks pattern for machine knitting or design your own using one of Knit it Now patterns (and use ANY yarn).

Unlike this Rosier Cloche, The brim on the Knit it Now Lucky Cloche is shaped for a similar but different style.
