Velvet Cloche Free Crochet Pattern
Ever since I made the Velvet Witch Hat last Halloween, I’ve been wanting a similar but non-pointy version of it. You know, a more everyday kind of hat! ;) This simple cloche is exactly that and I’m so pleased with out it turned out using the same Bernat Velvet yarn!
I see this as the type of hat that you could wear when you want something cozy like a beanie, but fancier! Because when you make something with velvet, it really can’t help but feel a little fancy, right? :) It can easily be dressed up or down depending on how casual (or not!) the rest of your outfit is.
This super beginner friendly hat is made entirely with double crochets and best of all, both sizes use less than half a skein of Bernat Velvet so you can make one for yourself and one for a friend!
