Crochet Cloche
I've been crocheting a lot lately. Maybe because we've been holed up in the house quite a bit while the snow piles up outside. It's really amazing all the snow we've been getting. Anyway, I made this little cloche hat for my daughter - well I actually started making it for myself but she saw it and liked it and I'm always happy when she likes something I'm making so I gladly gave it to her.
I don't have a pattern for you - I just made it up as I went. I single crocheted in the round for the top part then started doing that netting type stitch until it got to the right length. Real technical, I know ;) Actually, the flower is from Claire's flower pattern so you can get that here. Her flower scarf is adorable and I have that on my to-do list too.
Wow, February already?
Love that hat!

How pretty--both the cloche and the daughter--so nice to see her! (Grace will get another letter on its way soon.)

I'm going to give that very technical pattern a try (will have to look up netting stitch as I haven't tried that before). I know my daughter would love a hat like that (in brown - her favorite color - which I just happen to have several skeins of).

Great hat. Love the colors. I see that you have Birds of Idaho to look at. I am from the Twin Falls area. I would love to see the Stellar Jay, what beautiful colors.
Have a great day and thanks for sharing with us.

Your daughter and the cloche are beautiful. I love the yellow you used, it's such a bright cheery color in the back drop of all that snow.

Oh what a sweet cloche. Cassi what a beautiful daughter you have, just like her mama. Clarice

this is very cute! I bet it's a big boost for your teenage (she looks to be in her teens in the pic)daughter to like something you crocheted. I often think about when I was a kid that "handmade" was not the coolest and I hope that now I'm not the uncool Aunt when I give handmade gifts. Oh how our perception changes as we age!

It's perfect and your daughter looks beautiful!
