cloche - crochet pattern (free)

here's a cute little hat i designed in my spare time. it's light weight but adds a bit of flare and warmth to any outfit. there is a flower attached to the front which is difficult to see in the pic, but hubs said the flower made it look like a flapper hat.

i design patterns better than i can write them down. i apologize if my crochet-eze isn't quite right, but hopefully you can make heads and tails of this.

Hook = I

Gage: 5 sc = 1 inch
