My inspiration had been little lilly of the valley buds, which are one of my favorite flowers. They remind me of my grandmothers, the candies and the cookies they used to give me when I would visit to give them little bouquets of lilly of the valley, every year on May 1rst.
I called the little hat Clochette, as the little buds are like little delicate bells. The hat also reminds me of 1920's cloche hats. Can you imagine how cute this little Clochette will be on little people?
I knit the Clochette from the bottom up. The hat is knit in stockinette, except for the single purl stitches separating the petals. I placed my decreases on each side of these purls. I topped the hat with a little i-cord green stem, and two applique leaves in the same bright green.
A row of single crochet sets the curl of the petals.
I will make this pattern available as a free pdf by Sunday.The pattern will be available for sizes newborn to toddler.
Happy Spring!

Beautiful!
This is the cutest hat ever. I can't wait for the pattern.
I am due in 2 weeks. This is going to look so cute on my little Lilly.
Adorable! Long ago, I had a little white doggie named Clochette. Same inspiration.
I've never seen a more adorable baby hat! This is so beautiful, I wish I had somebody to knit it for. I might knit it anyway. :o)
Adorable! cutest hat I have seen since knitwhits "flore". this is my mothers favorite flower. I can't wait to make one for my little girl!
That may be the cutest little thing I have ever seen!
How lovely and beautiful. Two friends are expecting little ones this spring, so a hat like that would be a fantastic present. Fantastic.
This is adorable. Think of all the baby girls knitters can now turn into little flower pixies with this hat. For that matter, I might just have to size this up and turn my 5-year-old fairy loving daughter into a flower pixie.
That's so cute.
I am going to knit many, many of these. All my friends are having babies. Thanks!
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love it. I wish I knew a baby to make it for.
Lily of the valley is a precious little flower and this is a precious little hat. How clever are you to come up with this design. I don't have any babies, but I feel compelled to make these.
Very Cute pattern! I thinking to make one for my little girl!
This is gorgeous! Any tips for making it in a larger (small adult) size?
