The Ragtime Annie cloche is knit from the bottom up using mosaic knitting techniques to create bold patterns. Options are given for two different brim styles and color patterning.

The pattern download begins with a 3-page introductory tutorial to mosaic knitting complete with full color photos to illustrate techniques that you will then use when knitting your cloche. If you are new to color work this would be an easy project to begin with.

It is possible to make 2 hats from 2 skeins of Cascade 220 if you reverse the MC and CC for the second hat (as shown in the pattern).

The Ragtime Annie Bucket Cloche is not sized to be heavily felted. Once the process is completed you should be left with a sturdy, yet soft and foldable hat.
