Blythe Crochet Cloche Hat Pattern

This is a very easy beginners FREE crochet pattern that whips up in just over an hour. Since I have been bitten by the "Blythe Bug" as I mentioned yesterday, it was only a matter of time before I started creating things for her and this just happens to be the first of probably many patterns.

Materials:

Patons "Classic Wool" Merino, 100% Wool, 3 1/2 oz. (100g) in Blue Marl (variegated white/blue)

Size D/3 (3.25mm) Crochet Hook

Directions:

To Begin, Ch10 and join the first and last stitches to form a loop.

Rd. 1: Ch 3 and then 15 DC inside the loop.

Rd. 2: Ch 3 and then 1 DC inside the first DC followed by a SC all the way around.

Rd. 3: Ch 3 and then in the new that you’ve made do 2 DC followed by 1 SC then 2 DC in the next followed by 2 SC. It will start to look almost like a lace doily.

Rd. 4: Ch 3 and then in the first that you’ve made do 3 DC followed by 1 SC then 3 DC in the next followed by 2 SC .

Rd. 5 - 6: Ch3 and then in the first stitch that you’ve made do 3 DC followed by 2 SC all the way around. You’re gradually “increasing” the size of your doll’s hat.

Rd. 7 - 10: Rd. 4: Ch 3 and then in the first stitch that you’ve made do 3 DC followed by 1 SC then 3 DC in the next followed by 2 SC.

Rd. 11: For the shell trim, SC in the first stitch, HDC in the second stitch, 1 DC, 1 TDC, 1 DC in the third stitch, HDC in the fourth stitch and a SC in the fifth stitch. Repeat all the way around the rim of the hat.

Since this hat is "lacy" and has some holes, you can weave some coordinating ribbon through the openings and tie it in a bow to add a little decorative touch. Enjoy!
