Free Pattern: Classy Toddler Cloche

I just looove Downton Abbey so I have been wanting to make a cloche for my daughter for awhile and I finally sat down and did it! I like how it turned out, although I might try again using sc and making it a bit bigger. I thought I would go ahead and post the pattern here for this one (using hdc). This fits my daughter who is 3 1/2 and would probably fit a 3-4 year old. I have been getting quite a few emails lately from people asking me to adjust the pattern to fit a different size. As much as I wish I could do that, I really don't have the time so please keep that in mind when deciding if you should make this pattern or not. You should be able to judge if it will fit your little one as you are making it. This is an untested pattern so if you find a mistake, just leave a comment below and I will fix it as soon as I can :)

 

My poor little bear wasn't feeling so hot today so I quickly snapped a few shots of the hat on her and let her go! Maybe another day I can get some better pictures.
