Vintage 1920s Crochet Cloche Hat Pattern – Crown Down with Brim Edging

Capture the timeless elegance of the 1920s with this vintage cloche hat crochet pattern.
Worked from the crown down with the brim added last, it includes a fine wire crocheted
into the edge for structure and an authentic flared shape.

Materials:
2 balls Strutt’s Macrame twine (original)
Size 10 crochet hook (3.25mm)
Ribbon for trimming
Wire for edging

Modern Substitutes:
Try DK cotton yarn for softness, mercerised cotton thread (size 5) for closer texture to
twine, or lightweight linen blends for a structured finish. Swatch first to ensure
firmness.

Adjusting Fit:
Crown: increase until crown diameter = head circumference ÷ 3.14
Depth: work rounds until just above ears
Brim: adjust number of rounds for desired width
Wire: crochet into final brim round for stability
Finishing Touches: Add a ribbon, bow, or flower for authentic 1920s flair.
