Capture the elegance of the past with this classic cloche. Keep it simple by working the striping pattern without the beads or go all out and bead the stripes to add that touch of glamour.

The knitting is simple, a basic stockinette fabric with severe shaping at two points to create the side point details, followed by straight knitting to the crown. The crown is shaped in the standard 8-point decrease.

Materials: 40cm 16in 3.25mm US #3 circs and same dpn’s, 0.60 or 0.75 mm hook for the bead placement, 50grs fingering weight (4-ply) yarn. A yarn with softness and drape will give the best results. If beading approx. 1200 size 8/0 beads are required.

The sample was knit with 3 colours of Cashmere Reborn.

Gauge: 28 st in 10cm 4inches and 40 rows in 10cm 4inches

Sizes: adult – small, medium and large
