Looking for a stylish yet beginner-friendly knit and crochet combo project? This hat blends classic elegance with cozy comfort, featuring a fitted cloche-style silhouette and a beautifully layered crochet flower.

Worked in the round with no seaming, the hat is knit using two strands of DK weight yarn held together for a chunky texture and quick finish. The flower is crocheted separately with a single strand and then attached, making it a great project to practice both crafts in one piece.

This flattering retro-inspired design is perfect for chilly weather, gift knitting, or adding a feminine touch to any outfit. Try it in a single color for a subtle look, or use a contrasting flower for added flair.

Skills required: knitting in the round, basic crochet (chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet).

Shown in size M in Deramores Studio DK yarn, color Merlot, on model with head circumference 22”/56cm, with 4-layer flower;
and
size L in Paintbox Yarns Simply DK yarn, color Marine Blue, on model with head circumference 22⅞”/58cm, with 3-layer flower.
Please note: my sizing chart is based on average head measurements, but head size is individual and not age-dependent — I strongly recommend measuring actual head circumference to select the correct size.
