Cloche is knitted in four sections starting with the crown strip. Then stitches are pick up along the sides of the crown strips and knitted one at a time forming the full crown of the hat. The brim is picked up along the edge of the full crown and worked in garter stitch, folded double to the inside of the hat and hemmed as it is bound off. No seaming is required!!

This cloche is designed to coordinate with my Winternet Scarf. The half wheels of the side panels echo the end detail of the Winternet Scarf.
