I was really excited the other day to find out that Inside Crochet Magazine had started to blog, even more excited when I saw that one of my designs was on the front cover. Time for a little jig. I have yet to see the magazine to turn the pages, but many of the images are now on Ravelry. September is a big issue in all magazines as it is the main tah dah for the autumn/winter season. That always seems strange here in Britain, as they appear at the begininning of August when we at least think we can wear a tee-shirt and shorts for one or pushing it two days. Anyway I love the September issue of most magazines and when I get my mits on the September issue of Inside Crochet I will be particularly thrilled.
Anyway above is a photo of a gorgeous model wearing a cloche hat. I think I was inspired by a very glamourous school friend of mine Mrs M, who with her bobbed hair can always rock a 1920’s hat.
This is the hat just about to go off to the magazine. If you know anything about magazines, you will know that they prepare many months in advance of printing. The Orla Cloche Hat was made in early April and now appears in the September issue. It is quite a simple pattern using htr(UK)/hdc(US) and a crab stitch edging. I love crab stitch and want it use it more and more.
Think I might do another little jig and hope you have a lovely weekend x
You’re so clever! It looks gorgeous xx
Hello – have you got a small parcel from me yet? Hope so otherwise it could be very sticky x
I emailed you when I got the hat pattern and fabulous Tunnocks wafers a wee while ago…? Sticky?! Intriguing!
Sorry, didn’t get the email, I wondered if they would get squished, but I am glad they arrived! Hurrah!
That hat looks gorgeous, can’t wait to see it in the magazine.

It is very Mrs M! xx
Mrs M here, rather belatedly as I have been away. I think the crochet version is much better than the original (which is now a little battered) and looks totally gorgeous.
