I just love the Frankie Drake Mysteries TV Seriesand all the 1920’s Fashion, especially the Cloche Hats. I found myself reaching for my hook. So, this is inspired by all the hats on the series.
I used 2 balls of LIncraft Balmy which is approx to an Aran yarn. I have done a gauge swatch to help with yarn choice.
I also used a small amount of Patons Cotton Blend dk double stranded for the embellishments.
