New Calleigh Cloche

Spring time is almost here!!! I love making my Calleigh a fun spring time hat around Easter time.

 I found some cotton yarn in my stash I'd purchased over a year ago for another project that I didn't do. The yarn color matched the new outfit she had perfectly so I went to work designing!

 I really love this cloche and so did she! I hope you will enjoy it too! 

It's a pretty basic hat at the start with some added texture and floral detailing 

just perfect for the season.
