Haberdashery Rosette

Decorate a pre-made cloche hat or make your own. I did a felting tutorial on The Woolery's blog (click here to see!) I am obsessed with Netflix's Peaky Blinders. It's an amazing show set in post WW1 and the 20's. Amazing hats, and style!

Materials:

various yarns, chunky bulky  art yarns are fun. I used my own handspun yarns.

sewing needle

thread

felt

crinoline, or mesh fabric

Sewing skills:

basic

Time needed:

about an hour and a half

Fig E:

Cut out felt leaves. About 2" long, shape however you want.

Fig F-G:

add art yarns to the leaves. Tack down with dark or coordinating threads. I edged mine in some chartreuse plyed handspun. The plyed texture helped hide the thread stitches.

Fig H:

Using a piece of mesh or

millinery crinoline

start planning your rosette.

Fig I:

Start in the center of the rosette. Add some chunky art yarn.

          Then double the main color of yarn into

two strands.

          Tack it down with thread every inch.

          Tack and switch directions, building up a dimensional rose motif.

Fig J:

I added some chunky felted super bulky yarn pieces, in addition to the thinner hot pink yarn. It's what was in the studio-why not! Tack, and spiral...building around and around. This rosette is pretty basic, turn and tack. I finished the rosette by braiding three strands of my thinner hot pink yarn. Then tacked it down the outside circumference of the rosette.

Trim the excess crinoline of mesh away. Add leaves!

I used my felt strip, that I saved from trimming the cloche brim. Wrapped it around the crown, and tacked it down with thread. Position your rosette, and choose where you want the leaves. I decided two simple leaves were best.

 Cute, and stylish! You can tack the flower on, or make it into a pin. That way you can change out what you wear with the hat. Pull out your yarn stash, and get creative. Enjoy!
