The Cynthia Cloche Hat with Ruffle Brim is a unique and stylish accessory that showcases the fascinating technique of mobius crochet. The pattern begins by creating a long chain that is twisted halfway and joined to form a one-sided surface. Single crochet stitches are worked around the twisted chain to build up the hat body.

The hat is worked in rounds, alternating between front post extended single crochet (FPesc) and back post extended single crochet (BPesc) stitches to create an interesting texture. The crown is shaped by joining the twists at the top and transitioning to working in spiral rounds. Decreases are strategically placed to taper the crown to a neat finish.

The hat is completed with a decorative ruffle edging along the brim. Double crochet stitches and chains are used to create the ruffle tiers, while single crochet and crab stitch provide a clean finish. The ruffle adds a feminine touch and flows nicely along the diagonal direction of the brim rows.

This intermediate to advanced level pattern includes detailed instructions, special stitch descriptions, and helpful video tutorials. The finished hat measures approximately 18 inches in circumference and 9 inches in length, fitting a head circumference of 23 inches. The pattern can be easily adjusted by adding or subtracting chains to the initial chain length.

With its unique construction and eye-catching ruffle, the Cynthia Cloche Hat is sure to become a cherished accessory in any crocheter’s wardrobe.
