This hat is inspired by the 8-9th century Irish Londesborough brooch. The hat comes up fairly large, so see the end of the pattern for some suggestions to make it smaller. The spirals are not an integral part of the hat, and do not have to be incorporated if not wanted.

This is my first pattern so please inform me if you spot any mistakes or come into any difficulties.
