Interlaken Brimmed Cloche

Discover the charm of knitting with the DREAM IN COLOR “Calm” hat pattern, inspired by the picturesque town of Interlaken nestled in the breathtaking Swiss Alps. This stunning knit design features a beautiful color palette with subtle variations that add depth and character to your finished piece. The hat is not only warm and stylish but also offers versatility, easily transitioning from a chic cloche to a trendy slouch hat simply by turning it inside out! Treat yourself or gift this luxurious, soft cap to a loved one, ensuring they stay doubly warm while looking effortlessly elegant.

This thoughtfully designed hat is crafted in two parts. First, you'll knit the headband/brim flat using a provisional cast-on, which allows you to create a seamless join that results in a comfortable headband. At this point, you can stop and enjoy your creation as a cozy earwarmer, or continue knitting to pick up stitches for the hat body in an attractive wide rib pattern. The hat body is then worked in the round to create a refined fit. Once completed, simply turn up the brim to enhance warmth while exuding style. You can choose to wear it with the turned-up brim for a refined look or flip it inside out to enjoy a fashionable slouch style! Be sure to check out the photos on the last page for inspiration on how to wear your beautifully finished hat. One size fits most, making it a versatile accessory for anyone.
