This cloche style hat gets an extra touch of elegance with the addition of Aloft Mohair/Silk blend being knit together with Wool of the Andes Worsted for the body of the hat. With the use of short rows the upturned, seed stitch brim receives a little extra drama and creates the perfect place to showcase an antique button or an heirloom brooch. Worked in the round, top down. Pattern is written for a 21” or 24” circumference.
