This free crochet cloche hat pattern from Dear Crochet is a stylish project that captures the classic 1920s silhouette. The design features a deep, rounded crown and a small brim, creating a close-fitting look that’s especially flattering for short hairstyles. To finish it off, a simple bow is added to the side. This gives the hat an elegant, vintage-inspired touch that works for both everyday wear and special occasions.
You’ll be working the hat from the top down in the round. It’s super easy to check the fit as you go. Use lightweight cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook – this ensures the fabric is breathable enough to wear throughout the year. While the tutorial is specifically sized for a 22-inch head circumference, the construction is straightforward enough for those familiar with basic stitches. It’s a rewarding way to create a timeless accessory that adds a bit of old-school glamour to any outfit.
