The Perfect Cloche

[gaylefrancisdesigns]

I design hats whenever I get the chance, and I've been working hard to make a really cute cloche for awhile now. I finally did it.

 

 

This is version one, worked up in Caron acrylic [i think it was leftover from a one pound skein]. When I throw it on with my trenchcoat and scarf, I look like I ran away from the 20s.

 

 

This is version two, worked up in Lion Brand Wool-Ease. The bow is some leftover Red Heart I had. Because the Wool-Ease was a wool/acrylic blend and a bit thinner, it worked up a touch differently than the first hat, even though I used the same pattern.

 

It was nice to see the difference between yarns, because then I could warn people about it in the pattern.

 

Comments, critiques, and the like are all welcome.
