The Ombretta Cloche Hat is a unique crochet pattern that combines a Möbius twist construction with textured stitches and a decorative floral accent. The pattern is suitable for intermediate to advanced crocheters and requires lightweight acrylic yarn, crochet hooks in sizes N/13 (9 mm) and K/⁄ (6.5 mm), and a few basic tools.

The hat is worked seamlessly in the round, beginning with a foundation chain that is joined with a half-twist to create the Möbius effect. The body of the hat is worked in alternating rounds of front post and back post extended single crochet stitches, creating a textured, single-sided fabric. Shaping is achieved through strategic increases and decreases.

The floral accent consists of a spiraled flower and a leaf, both crocheted separately and joined together. The flower is reinforced with a latch hook for stability, while the leaf is folded and seamed. The accent is then attached to the brim of the hat.

Finishing touches include a crab stitch edging along the brim and weaving in all ends. The pattern includes detailed instructions, stitch abbreviations, and helpful video tutorials to guide crocheters through the process.

The finished hat measures approximately 18” in circumference and 9” in height, fitting most adult heads up to 23” in circumference. The open-weave design and lightweight yarn make it suitable for various seasons, while the asymmetric styling and intricate details create a striking, avant-garde accessory.
