Evoke the style of the 1920's with this felted cloche hat. Knit in the round, this piece uses short row shaping to form an asymmetrical brim. A clever variation of a double knit technique produces the contrasting welted band. Additional photos available here and here.

Very nice! I hope tons of people buy it from you. I wish I could, but hubby's b-day is coming up, and he might feel bad. Poor baby.
I made Stella as a Chrismas present for my mother, and she LOVED it! It was quick and easy to knit up--which is great, because everyone who sees it admires it greatly!
Dear Mrs. PieKnits:
Before I purchase the pattern for this oh so cool hat, can it be made on a brother knitting machine.
I am a hand knitter but have recently got back into the machine. Love the speed. I could get a speeding ticket with how fast I go.
Thanks so much.
