Delicate circular cables decorate this Cloche style Hat. The Brim is knitted sideways and the stitches for the Body are picked up in a clever way to ensure neatness and continuity. The Crown is finished with a delicate gather, defining the overall shape.

This Hat is easily adjusted for more or less slouch, and for different weight yarns.
