A vintage-styled cloche for a girl (or a woman with a small head and a taste for bold colors) in a warm cotton, perfect to keep out those nasty fall breezes. Katia Mali is a pure cotton with a very compact texture. Knitted at a relatively high gauge it yields a compact, warm texture that will keep your head warm. The bold coloring of the yearn reminded me of the late XIX and early XX century fascination of the newly invented chemical dyies that allowed to create much brighter, rather extreme coloring in the clothing and, therefore, to create this vintage-styled hat.
The hat uses almost fully the yarn. Work the gauge swatch with CC from one end of the hank and start knitting from the opposite end. If needed complete the hat undoing the swatch.
Thanks to my friend Sonia Arw for modeling the hat.
