1920’s Cloche Hat Crochet Pattern
If I could go back to anytime in history I’d probably travel to the 1920’s!.. The swing music and catchy Charleston, the unforgettable hats and fashion and Walt Disney’s film debut are just a few of the many reasons I love the roaring twenties!
Unfortunately I don’t have a time machine in my possession, so I guess I’ll just have to settle with binge watching Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby for now… I have to admit though, that while wearing this cloche hat with my pair of mary jane heels, I truly felt like I’d been transported to the roaring 20’s!

Is the back loop the one facing toward you or the loop facing backwards from you. Thanks
GoLightYourWorld says
It’s the one facing away from you.
Renae says
pill “RED HEART LOVE YARN ” (4) MEDIUM, 6.5 mm K-10.5, not Chunky work for this hat? If not would it work with an “H” hook? If so how wide before sides, how long before brim? Or is it too thin to keep its shape ?
Lena says
🥰 most adorable comment ❣️🧶
Merry Pineda says
I think ‘Rnd 22 (56 sts)’ might be a misprint. Should probably be (103), same as ending of previous rnd?
L. Powell says
I thought the same thing. It has to be the same as the previous row😉

C. Renee Hall says
I followed this pattern and loved the outcome, but my brim seems to roll upwards.
What are your suggestions?
Thanks Olivia
Cynthia Beardsley says
I made the 20 hat with brim, beautiful. But way way to big. 21cm around and brim hung over eyes. I ripped rows out to make smaller. I failed. Is the flapper a better fit for me? I LOVE your crocheting.
Nicola Wilkie says
I love this hat. I used a chunky (UK) acrylic yarn and a 5mm hook as I have a tiny head. I think my wool choice was not as chunky as yours so I had to add another two rows to the first 7 with increases to get right diameter, then took out a row in the 8-17 to make it less deep. I also added a row on the brim to make it bit wider. It is a bit floppy but the wool is soft and wondering if blocking might help? I’m finding the flower quite fiddly and can’t see it in your photos very well. Might have to YouTube a flower demo. All in all I love the hat and I’m sure it’ll keep me toasty warm. Thank you for such a great pattern.
Kathy R says
I just made this hat also, and have trouble with floppy brims on many hats I make. This time I followed the instructions for the brim that someone had posted a ways down on the comments. The brim turned out perfect.
Dalene Cox says
I had the same problem, so I took out two rows between row 8 and row 17. It gave me two rows less, but the fit is better.
Vera says
Love this hat. Made three of different colours.
Thank you.
Sylvia Brpwn says
I really love this hat!! Thank you so much for the pattern! I love your blog and your patterns
Olivia Kent says
Aww thank you Sylvia! I'm hoping to create more 1920's inspired crochet patterns in the future 🙂
Kim Jenkins says
Any tips on keeping my seam straight? I always have this problem with patterns involving hdc's. I adore this hat..thanks for the pattern!
Tiffany K. says
I've found that not counting the chain as a stitch, starting in the same stitch as your chain, and ending in the first stitch helps hide your seam.
Anonymous says
Yay!!!!! I'm so very, very glad to see this post!!!! I've done the first 12 rows or so and had the post beautiful curve of a seam. I've taken it out and redone it, taken it out and redone it, and taken it out and redone it. Not counting the chain was going to be my last and final attempt. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knoxville Girl says
Love it!!! But I'm nervous to start it without being able to double-check my gauge. Would you perchance have a gauge measurement?
Olivia Kent says
The gauge is approx 5 stitches and 4 rows in half double crochets = 2 inches.
Hope this helps!
Kristina says
Thanks for the question, and reply. I was curious about the gauge as well, as I picked a different yarn to make it in. I'll start swatching.

Hi Olivia
Beautiful hat !! Stunning 🙂
I want to have a go at making it but I only have 10 ply chunky wool – do you think it would turn out ok if I added maybe 2 more increase rows and a couple more rows for depth ???
Any advice would be wonderful 🙂
Cheers
Kelly
Olivia Kent says
Yes, you should be able to adapt it 🙂
Just remember to use a smaller hook, to achieve the same tight felted looked.
Unknown says
Olivia, I can't find the Lincraft Veronica yarn in the US. I used Deborah Norville Serenity Chunky (bulky 5) & the hat was huge. One of your comments said the diameter should be 6.5 to 6.75". Mine is 12". I love this hat & want to make several. Do you have suggestions for other yarns that I can find in the US or should I use a smaller hook & if so what size would you suggest? Thank you so very much for any advice. A sweet friend of mine has cancer & she would love this hat.
The Momma says
I love this pattern, I can't wait to make it myself. 🙂 However, I have a rather large head and typically have to add stitches to each row to ensure its fit. So I was wondering, would you mind telling the circumference? Thanks
Olivia Kent says
The circumference is 21.5", though it can easily stretch to fit 22.5" – 23".
If it's to small, try adding an extra row. After Row 7, repeat it. But the second time you crochet Row 7, crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 6 stitches… Not 5.
Hope this helps!
The Momma says
Thanks so much for your help! 🙂
Anonymous says
Would you then increase R 19 to correspond with the added Rows 7? If I had 9 HDC + 2, for my final Row 7, would Row 19 then pick up from there?
Anonymous says
i just made the hat but having trouble figuring out the flower, Its all crocheted but I can not figure out the folding and have it sit flat on the hat. Can you sent me pictures or is there a YouTube instruction so I can follow better. Thank you for this cut hat. cant wait to make more. ^Jacy^
Jennifer says
I’m having the same problem.
Randi says
Hi, when I roll the flower strip it does look like your rosette. As it seems to bulky. Would you have a video to show how you sewed the rosette. I love this pattern.
Nina says
I cannot make the flower lie flat, it’s just a big blob. Did anyone sort out how to do this?
charlotte elizabeth says
What would be the equivalent to an American bulk weight yarn? 5 or 6? I really want to try this pattern out!
Olivia Kent says
Hello Charlotte! It would be the equivalent of 6. Try looking for yarn that's between 55 – 75 meters per a 100g.
Cathy3777 says
Beautiful hat! I'd love to try it, but am not sure about size. I have a very large head and rare is the hat that can fit me. Circumference is 24"–can you suggest a yarn weight/hook size to achieve a bigger hat?
Thanks!

Hi Olivia
Just a quick question – as I'm newish to crochet – but totally addicted 🙂
On rows 8 – 17 do I still do a HDC in the same stitch as the chain 2 ??
Cheers
Kelly
Olivia Kent says
Hello Kelly,
While crocheting this hat, I did NOT HDC in the same stitch as the chain 2 on rows 8 – 17 🙂
glassyladyks says
Will it matter if I do HDC in the same stitch as the chain 2 on rows 8 – 17? I am wondering if I need to undo the last eight rows.
Debby Flasch says
Just made 2 hats one with bulky acrylic, 1 with wool blend. I used J hook as instructed. I am a very experienced with crochet. This hat has either too many rows during the up to 17 th row or the hook is too large. Also the brim doesn’t stay straight as yours does. The brim is floppy! I crochet tight even stitches. I am going to undo and tweak the pattern a bit. I think it’s adorable hat and looks great on you
Anonymous says
mine was ruffled too. Reworked as suggested. Perfect! Thank you for sharing. Great pattern!!

I love this hat and have made 2 this week since finding the pattern last weekend, but am finding that my brim has a ruffle to it and is not flat like yours. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
Melissa
Anonymous says
Melissa that happened to me too! After trying several times here's what I came up with:
1st round of the brim (after the "back loop only" round): ch 2, hdc in same st (3hdc, 2 hdc in next st) around, sl st to join (same as before).
2nd round: ch 2, hdc in same st (8hdc, 2hdc in next st) around, sl st to join.
3rd round: ch 2, hdc in same st (12 hdc, 2 hdc in next st) around, sl st to join.
4th round: ch 1, sc in each st around, sl st to join. Fasten off.
I did remove a round from the brim to improve visibility. I also removed a round from the crown to raise the brim a bit, and used a size smaller hook.
Hope this helps!
Angie Kritenbrink says
Mine turned out ruffled too, but when I lay it out, the brim lays flat. I think it's because I used a soft acrylic yarn.
Anonymous says
Thank you Anonymous for the help. I have a small head in circumference and in length from crown to eyes. This hat ended up being to big because it was to long for me. These are good suggestions.
Alison says
I undid 3 rounds and tried a slight variation on what Anonymous suggested (Thank you!!!), but left out the 3rd round. It's given a good sturdy brim with no waves. Tempted to make a few more in different colours.

Hi, I love your hat. I am new to crocheting … and french so I have few questions : When you say "then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch", do you mean to do that first half double crochet in the slip stitch?
Also, what are your recommandations if I use Aran weight yarn (I guess 10 plys)?

hi, i cannot download the pattern:(((
Nanarelle says
I used a copy and paste into word method for my own copy. Not requiring downloading. Works well in most instances and allows me to make amendments to the pattern; such as my own sizing and wool requirements as I am in Australia and have difficulty sourcing materials from other countries. Thanks and hope I was a help.

I would appreciate a reply on adapting this pattern to medium weight yarn. Thanks, Olivia.
Olivia Kent says
Hello!
Sorry for the late reply, I've been in hospital for a few days, and it's been hard keeping up with everything.
After Round 7, keep increasing (Example, round 8 crochet 6 HDC's between an increase. round 9 crochet 7 HDC's between increase. etc.) till your hat measures between 6.5 – 7 inches in diameter. Then crochet rounds of just 1 HDC into every stitch all around till your hat measures 7.5 inches in height. Then crochet the brim.

Hello Olivia,
Love the hat! Made one for my niece. But I don't like how the brim ruffles. I'm wondering if maybe I used the wrong type of yarn. I used Patons Shetland chunky (5). What kind of yarn is Lincraft Veronica? Is it thicker or stiffer than Patons? I'd like to try again. Should I try a chunkier yarn (6)? Please let me know. Thank you:)
Olivia Kent says
Hello
Maybe try a thicker yarn? I usually use yarn that suggests crocheting with a 7.00mm or a 8.00mm hook when crocheting cloche hats, as they give that thick, felted look when crocheted with a 6.00mm hook.
Hope this helps a bit,
Olivia

Thanks for your reply to this. My hat ended up with a ruffled brim as well which doesn’t look bad, but I definitely like the straight one better.

When you make the initial slip knot, leave an extra long tail. Then when you make the 7 hdcs into it, the hole will stretch to accommodate it. After all 7 hdcs are made, pull the tail and it will close up the hole.

I made the cloche hat that you had included the pattern. I loved the hat , however it was way to big for me & also I ended up with a pointed top to the hat. I can just get light skinny elastic to place around the hat, but I do not know why It ended up with pointed top to my hat?

Cute hat. You have a very unusual way of holding your hook and yarn.
Paulette Andrea says
Just finished it and it turned out great I used 2 worsted weight yarn held togathet I am a tight crocheter so it's very sturdy but I love it. Instead of SC on the edges I did slip stitch in the 3rd loop I like the effect. Thanks for the pattern.

When I went to the Lincraft site, there was no mention if they would mail to the United States. Do you know if they would? Has anyone ordered this yarn to be shipped to the US? If so, what was the charge?

ahhh… Im going to jump… I used a 6 mm hook and super bulky yard ( 6) it is HUGE…I ripped it apart and left out row 7 and continued from there…still big…im going to rip it all apart again and try a smaller hook…the back seam is not straight either, IM not sure what Im doing wrong …do you have a video of you making this hat by chance ??
Anonymous says
You don't count the first HDC in the row. (HDC in same stitch) But when you connect your row at the end, that counts as the last HDC. That's what straightened mine out.
So, the first HDC in same stitch as chain does NOT count as a stitch, and the connector at the end counts as a stitch.

You ONLY crochet row 18 into the back loop 🙂
Faith says
The Time machine question? Hmmm, I actually have several periods which would suit me just fine, Colonial Times, Victorian, '20-40's.The color of this hat is so pretty. Do you think this could be fashioned up with Caron's Simply Soft medium weight yarn. Larger hook would need to be used I suspect. I'd like your opinion. Thank you for sharing your patterns.

Back to row 18 – are you working the stitch around the post or actually in the back loop? (The photo looks like both loops are forward.) I love this hat and can't wait to wear it!

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks!
Kristyn Featherston says
I am wondering this as well. In the picture, it looks to be a back-post stitch instead of working in the back of the loop.
Anonymous says
did anyone work this out as currently on row 18 and not sure what to do.
Cookie Jones says
When she says back loop, she means completely behind the 2 top loops. This pushes the 2 loops forward to give you the look in the picture. As soon as you find the right loop, you'll be able to see it right away.
Maschelle Mashburn says
I've been scrolling through the comments looking for this exact question! I thought the loop behind the top two loops that make the < shape was called the "bar". ? It looks confusing on a HDC, and that makes it hard to figure out which loop is actually being worked in. So glad I found these replies! The pattern is so cute! I am having good results with mine up til now…let the brim begin!
Kristina says
Kristyn, Cookie explained it correctly. It is a loop that runs almost parallel to what is typically referred to as the back loop. I tried it both as a back post and working into that loop behind the back loop and working in the loop behind looked just like the picture. But you've probably figured that out, as your comment is well over 2 years old. I thought I'd put it out there for the next person looking for the answer to this question, as I was.
Tina K Burton says
Hi, this is a fab pattern, thanks for sharing. I've just made it, but the brim part is all wavy, any idea why?

Hello Tina,
You could be crocheting the stitches too loosely… Maybe try crocheting the stitches a bit tighter?

How do yuu keep the seam straight in the back?

Thanks Olivia, I'll take it apart and try again. I'm using chunky wool, which should be thick enough.
Lu Regini says
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am quite inexperienced… do you turn after each round?
Bugga in OK says
No, you do not. You just join with a slip stitch in the top stitch of your first chain in the previous row, then chain 2, and do your next row around. It is helpful if you count the stitches as you finish each row to be sure you have not skipped or added a stitch. It takes a little time, but is worth it so your hat will turn out right. Stitches added or skipped here and there in a pattern will multiply as you do on, and the hat will not be right!
Bugga in OK says
Thanks so much for this darling, easy pattern. I just finished making it as a Christmas gift for my 15 year old granddaughter, Faith. She loves hats of all kinds, and I know she will be thrilled with this one. It was very quick to make, and I finished it in a day!

While crocheting in rounds, the side that's towards you is the front, and the side that's facing away from you is the back.

Go to YouTube and search crochet magic circle. It is a much better option for starting any pattern in the round. This way the hole on top is closed tightly.

Love this pattern. Can't wait to try it. This is my first time on your site. Very impressed. Will be back again and again and again….. One question though, are you in the U.S. or in the U.K?
Lucy says
Oops. Just read – you are in Australia. Love your site. Beautiful

Beautiful hat…. I'm going to go try this right now!Love the musical intervention – the only problem is I want to get up and DANCE! I wish I could walk on my treadmill and crochet at the same time… but I'm not that coordinated!

Dear Olivia. First my prayers to you for a full recovery. I had to let you know that I just finished this glorious cloche using 2 strands of raspberry "I Love This Yarn." It turned out beautifully and very firm (which gave my thumb a workout). I added a sparkly white crochet yarn in the blo row. My daughter had been asking for a brimmed crochet hat. I wasn't satisfied with the visual effect of those I made previously. Yours is awesome, and that is an understatement. I like it so much that I thought of keeping for myself 😉 Instead it will be a surprise Christmas present. I made a white flat crochet bow tie, and placed it on the back of the hat. Love Love Love it. Thank you.
P.S. Your hair is gorgeous, and that's just for starters.
JanetF says
Hi, I also used 2 strands of I love This Yarn. Did your brim ruffle? Mine did and would like to fix it. Thanks in advance for ay tips.
Erin A. says
In round 21 we end with 103 hdc around and then in round 22 it says SC all around but only for (56st)? Is this a misprint?? So far the hat has gone swimmingly.. but I wanted to point that out as it is a tad confusing.
Sue says
Hi Olivia, I love your site! There's so many crafts projects, and they all look so fun. I'll be sure to visit here more. I may make a cloche hat though I never made a hat before. Your cloche hat looks really good. Thanks for posting the pattern for it.

How many skeins do we need to buy for this hat?
Olivia Kent says
Depends on the weight of the skein.
I used 125g to make this hat, so if you were to buy 3 skeins of 50g, or 2 skeins of 100g, you would have more than enough yarn.
Hope this helps,
Olivia

I made this hat for my mom this weekend while she is undergoing chemo. I used the Lion Brand Wool-Each Chunky Yarn. The size "J" 6 mm hook. It ended up larger than expected and the rim required folding up like a traditional sailor hat. Any suggestions on what to do differently next time?
Olivia Kent says
My tension is pretty even, so if yours is usually on the looser side, maybe try using a smaller hook? Your increase circle should measure roughly 6.5 inches in diameter, before you crochet rounds of 1 half double crochets in each stitch.
Hope this helps!
Helen Moye says
I've been called all sorts of things in my life. When I wear this hat I hope they call me the Flapper Girl SMILE Thanks so much for sharing this striking, fashionable accessory
Liz C. says
Apparently I crochet way tighter than I thought… The only head that my hat is going to fit is perhaps my nieces' American girl dolls. Lol! 😜. Any recommendations?
Olivia Kent says
Hello Liz!
Try using a larger crochet hook, till your increase circle (round 7) measures approx 6.75 inches in diameter.
Hope this helps!
Olivia
Liz C. says
Trying that now. My Mom is trying to help (which is good since this is the first hat that I've ever attempted after only about 2 years of crocheting), so that's something. Really hope that I can figure this put because I totally LOVE this hat! Super cute!
Liz C. says
Oh, I forgot to ask… are the terms in this pattern in US terms or UK terms? Mom said that it makes a huge difference.

Can you avoid the seam entirely by continuously crocheting in a spiral, marking the rounds to keep track–will it ruin the line of this gorgeous cloche?

JanetF says
Hi Olivia, hope you are feeling better. Just finished this hat and my brim has a ruffle to it. I used two strands of medium weight yarn throughout as it's what I had at the moment. Any suggestions on how to get a straight brim like yours? Thanks in advance.
Liz C. says
I actually saw (on a youtube video for another cloche hat pattern) a lady say that she got some speaker wire and crocheted that into the last row of her hat to give it some form so it doesn't get too floppy and she can adjust it easier and have it stay that way. Just a thought.
Peachey Luv says
Take stitches out to round 6, on round 7 1 hdc in all stitches instead of adding 2hdc after 5 stitches. Also, if needed, you can turn the brim under and slip stitch the last row to the 2nd last row to make it a bit more stiff.

This hat is adorable and a must make. I made a cowl for my daughter-in-law for Christmas in her favourite colour, green. I have enough yarn left to make her this hat, but there is no indication on the gauge size. The yarn I have is 4 ply US; do you have any recommendations to help with this pattern?
glassyladyks says
125g Bulky Yarn {12ply}
Peachey Luv says
You can use two strands of 4-ply. It comes out better because the brim is stiffer.
Fran Salaz says
When you say to use two strands you mean to actual rolls of yarn?
Jacqui Emm says
I made the hat over a couple of hours this weekend. I used a variegated wool in shades of puple and blue and am very happy happy with the result, even though it didn't come out exactly as planned! Great pattern and easy to follow instructions – thanks 🙂

Hi Olivia,
I absolutely love the cloche style hats, I have already made the other one you have posted, now I am going to make this one, they are gorgeous!! If I owned a time machine, I would go back a very long way, probably from the beginning of the 18th century, traveling all the way to the roaring twenties. I love the flapper dresses, the head pieces, the hats, omg, I wont go on……..

Hi Olivia. I just finished this hat & I noticed something on three rows: R19 ends up with 77sts, R21 has 99sts, & R22 ends with 109sts. All the other Rows end with what the pattern says. I have carefully counted but not sure what's happened.

Hi Olivia! I'm at round 7 and being a first time crocheter i'm not sure this is going to look like a hat! Right now i have a round looking flat pattern…am i on the right path or did i miss something?
Thank uuuu
Olivia Kent says
Yes, it's normal for the first few rounds to form a circle, since you're increasing in those rounds. Once you stop increasing, it starts to form a hat.
Hope this helps!

Love this hat! Super excited to make. Im having issue s with joining the round. I never seem to end up w the right amount of stiches. When it says to slip stitch into second chain, doors that mean the hdc space from start of round? It isn't making sense to me. I'm sorry. -Danna
Anonymous says
No it means to slip stitch in the top of the chain 2 that you do at the beginning of every round, so when you come to the end of the round you slip stitch in the top of the chain 2 from the previous round.hope that makes sense.

I turned the brim under then stitched it to the last row with a slip stitch. It gave the brim some added stiffness and helps it stay in place.

Lisa Weeks says
I did the hat without joining…just a spiral like amigurumi. I also used an I hook and two strands of red heart worsted weight yarn. I didn't have chunky yarn and I couldn't find my J hook! lol! I'm assuming that my hat is stiffer than if I had followed the pattern as written. My hat is a bucket hat rather than a cloche but, I love it.

Love your hat, and I made one, but I wear glasses so I made a few changes for mine. First I used medium weight yarn, same size needle, for Row 8 I increased it to 64 stitches and followed the rest down but skipped Row 21 to give me a short straight brim. Finally I crocheted a head band with beads and attached. I finally have a hat I can wear with glasses. Thanks a lot!

Peachey Luv says
Is there a way to make this smaller, I just finished it and it is way too big. Thanks!
JustJules2U says
After making my first one (even after frogging a LOT of it Twice…) it was still way too big (more like a “Cat-In-The-Hat” look rather than the adorable one Olivia is sporting…haha. It actually ended up with a 24″ head circumference….I’m going to donate that hat since it doesn’t fit the person it was made for originally). So, here’s what I did the 2nd time around (after reading a lot and seeing some others’ suggestions here in the blog comments) and it worked out pretty well. First, I used a hook 2 sizes smaller (US size: 5.00mm H/8). I also removed 2 of the Rnds in the *8-17* area (only did 15 rounds); then on the brim because it was turning out floppy & wavey, in Rnd 17 (pattern Rnd #19) I followed her directions (ie: hdc twice in st 3, and so on); Rnd 18 (pattern Rnd#20) instead of doing the hdc twice in the 5th st, I did it in the 8th and repeated throughout that round; Rnd 19 (pattern Rnd #21) it calls to do the hdc twice in st 8, I did it in the 12th st and repeated throughout that round. Rnd 20 (pattern Rnd #22) I did my finishing edge of sc throughout that row; finished off and started on my rosette. The one thing I am not sure how to correct, is I wanted my seam to go straight down and crocheting the way the pattern is written, it does leave your seam going diagonally down the back of the hat. Not a deal breaker, but hoping I can figure out how to make a straight seam instead (on the next hat). Hope this helps (?) and good luck with your hat!

I use Firefox and Print Edit and it seems to help the most, you can basically pick and choose what parts you want printed out. Me I don’t care much for the ads, so those and whatever else cuts it down to like a max of 3 or 4 pages. Sometimes it doesn’t do what I want it to do on some websites, but takes the hassle out of printing dozens of pages with ads and unnecessary content.

It does not say whether you do a slip stitch to join or what – the next thing it says is to do 7 HDC in the 3rd chain – is that 7 in one stitch – or is it 7 HDC in the ring – then join with a slip stitch? I am so tired of vague instructions. Can you PLEASE make instructions as to where someone that has never picked up a crochet hook before and that they can read the instructions?
Same Person says
I have an addition to my last comment – I went and did seven HDC in the ring – for a total of eight – went to the next line – and with all the other fucking patterns I have tried – I have two stitches left over. I wished you idiots would make videos of these projects so that other people can understand what the HELL you are talking about!!!!
Tina says
If you’re consistently having 2 remaining stitches in projects like this, I think it may be a matter of where you’re joining your round. Your post is a few months old, but if you still need assistance, I’d be happy to try to help.
Cynthia Mathieu says
And still there is not actual pattern. Where is a good link for this pattern.
Gloria says
I have never heard of this yarn. What size is it?

Janice Legge says
Love this pattern, so simple, I’ve made three in the last two nights 🙂 Have lined two of them to make them super cosy and changed them up a bit by using contrasting colours to create band and flowers. Thanks 🙂
SUSAN KASMISKIE says
I made this lovely hat a few years ago. I misplaced the pattern. Thank you for sharing.
Dee Schultz says
I love this pattern. Im not very good but have made blankets and aficans, so I will try..Thank you for such a beautiful pattern.. from Lawrenceville,IL
Julie T says
Absolutely adore this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!! What is the color of yarn you used for this particular hat? I’ve looked on the suggested yarn’s website, but can’t locate the Exact color. I made this using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn, #6 Super Bulky in Cranberry (which was a Great match for color), but the hat turned out way too large 🙁 , even after I frogged and removed a few rows. I want to make it again, but using the same yarn you’ve suggested. Hoping changing the brand of yarn and possibly shortening the number of stitches from each row, will size the hat more properly for the woman I am making this for! 🙂 Thanks, in advance, for your response and any suggestions you can provide.
Sarah Maxton says
I would really love to make this hat in children’s sizes. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find anything I like as well. Do you have this pattern in children’s sizes by chance?
D Findley says
Please can you send me a conversion chart for English crochet as our stitches are not the same as yours,I would love to make this!thank you
Jodi says
How do I have 103 stitches at the end of row 21 and then do a sc in each stitch for row 22 and end with only 56 stitches. Should I do a sc in every other stitch for row 22?
JustJules2U says
I did a sc in each of the 103 stitches — I believe the 56 may have just been a typo?? My hat turned out very nice. If you skipped every other stitch, I think it would make the hat look “off”. I don’t know this for certain — it’s just my thought and (very humble) opinion 🙂 Hope this helps!
Rena Ellis says
I am going to try this adorable hat!!!!
Sharon Umber says
The last round has confused me. The row before is 103 sts, then row 22 says sc around to end at 56sts?
Ros Fretwell says
November 2018. Lovely looking pattern. Looking forward to making it. Thanks for sharing.
Tina says
Great pattern! I have a small head, so I had to reduce the height in rows 8-17 by three rows (so I only went to 14), but the circumference was good. I eliminated he final round of sc on the brim as it made my brim curl, but it still looks good. I struggled with the flower, so I just used a different pattern for that, which I found on Pinterest. I did mess up the row with going theough the back loop as I didn’t go through that third back loop, but it honestly doesn’t look too bad.
Karen says
Row 21 ends up with 103 stitches then row 22 says to work 1 sc in each stitch around but says you end up with 56 stitches not possible!
Midge says
lovely THIS IS JUST TOO CUTE
Vera says
For this pattern can you use worst weight red heart yarn?

Judy Post says
I just finished making this as a chemo hat for my friend. It’s classy and covers the neck for anyone who has lost her hair. I used a variegated yarn, and she loves it.
Judy Post says
In rnd. 21 there are 103 stitches, but in rnd. 22 there are only 56 with no decreases. How does that happen?

I love this hat but it’s far to small for my rather large head. How could I make it bigger please?

I would really like to crochet this hat and every time I see it listed I hope that I can access the pattern . Sadly, I have never been able to access this pattern. I am not sure what the problem is and if it is on my end please let me know.
Actually, either way let me know so I can find the pattern or give up on it.
Barb Gibbs says
I copied the text into a word document, deleted what I didn’t need and adjusted spacing so I could get it to two pages, then printed it double sided.
Kathy says
Click on the picture and instructions will come up.
Patricia Oneal says
Would it work to use two strands of worsted weight together instead of bulky yarn?

I am not sure if Olivia is actually checking this particular spot any longer. SEVERAL people have asked the same question … how do you have 103 stitches in Round 21 and 56 stitches in Round 22??? I’m not sure I want to get that far into a project only to find out I need to frog it, or it was a typo. ANYone have any suggestions??

Debbie says
My brim is very wavy. The pattern looks great. Also I crochet looser and it is a little to large for my head.
Paula Craig says

Laura Lynch Guigley says
Same question here. What happened to the other 47 stitches?
Also mine came out soooo small. Used J hook 🤷🏼♀️
Michelle Walton says
Unable to see the pattern. A big picture of the hat pops up for a split second. How can I view/ download the pattern?
Karen says
I crocheted this hat. Really like it. My hat turned out way to big . Is at least 26 inch in circumstances. Would like to try it again. Should I use a smaller or bigger hook to get to be smaller in size?

Margaret Coleman says
I have just made two. Loved the end results, lovely clear pattern. My friend who requested a 1920 hat sent me pictures of what she wanted. When I showed her your pattern she said wow if it comes out like that I will be over the moon. Now how to get them to her haha. Road trip I think
Deirdre says
How did you overcome the 103 to 56 sts on rnds 21/22?
Alexandra Lillie says
I have the same question
Did you work it out?
Sandra Ringer says
Where is the pattern? It says its free but its nowhere to be found.
Alexandra Lillie says
How 103 st (Rd 21) became 56 st (Rd 22)?
Sandra Williams says
thank you. only just learned to crochet and I think my niece will liek this pattern which I will knit up in some navy Aran.
Ann says
Love the pattern but confused with the last two rounds 🤔 how do I get from 103 to 56 sts round? Would appreciate some help, thanks
Linda Williams says
This is amazing. Wish you had a video
Judith Gale Langton Guerra says
I am doing the last row. The next to last line of instructions has 103 stitches at the end, and the only way I can get the last row to be 53 stitches (which are given too) is to crochet every other stitch. This is not in the instructions. Do I ignore the numbers, or do I ignore the written instructions? This is a gift for my daughter and I have to make up my mind!
Grace Anaya says
this pattern is not complete.
Paola Cantini says
I’m Paola from Livorno Italy. Thank you gor your beautiful pattern. I’m enjoy to do it and so my friends too!!!! Regards.
DENISE EBRON says
Cannot wait to make this hat. Question: row 21 ends with 103 sts. How does rowe 22 end with 56 sts sc?
Sylvia says
To all who have this same query, I think this is probably a typo. I just single crocheted the whole 103 stitches on the last row and it worked out fine. I’m now trying to find a way to stitch my flower into a shape that looks like a flower and not a blob lol. I’ll keep trying. Think I need a very slow motion video for my dense brain to make sense of it. Love this hat though.
Cana Dian says
Trying to view the pattern – 2021, April 9 – but all I see is comments…
Sally Hetler says
how can I print this pattern off
Sylvia says
I copied and pasted the instructions into a new Word Document then printed from there. It’s easy to delete any unwanted parts such as extra images etc. You should be able to do this with any word processing program.
Ana Carolina says
Hola, tiene el gráfico del patron

You have very nice free patterns on your blog. I’m hoping my son will like the thing baby hay, and if so I will adjust the pattern and make them in golf club covers. I really love them, unfortunately I was I’ll never be a grandmother, so I guess this will be as close to crocheting for a baby that I can get. Thank you
GodIsLove says
Hi! I wanted to try the pattern, looks so adorable! But can you use an I hook instead of J? I don’t have a J hook.
Kathleen Raudabaugh says
Row 21 says 103 count at end of row and Row 22 says sc in every stitch for a total of 56 count. Shouldn’t row 22 count be the same as 21?
