I wanted a hat. That would cover my ears. And be cute. Sorta girly, but not too girly. With my super-short hair, I find a cloche to be a very good look for me. And it totally has that whole covering-your-ears thing nailed.

I am finding that this works in all sorts of different yarn weights. I am in the process of playing with different weights and seeing if it all works out.

In the meantime, there is a nice, tidy version of this at the link above that has directions for both Mrs.Crosby’s Steamer Trunk and Carpet Bag.

Enjoy! And if you find any errors, please contact me so that I can correct them.

Please note: the top photo is in Steamer Trunk, Golden Butter. The other photos are some random, unlabeled yarn in my stash that I did my first version of this in. I left the photos so that you could see all the different views.
