Short Description: Bel is a cloche style hat that is designed to coordinate with my Handspun Pinafore. An equal opportunity knit, this hat is flattering on ladies young and grown and works as nicely with solid yarns as it does with variegated and handspun. The garter stitch band features an optional eyelet rows through which to thread a pretty ribbon or coordinating i-cord. Pattern knits up fast from the top down and is written in 5 sizes (infant & adult).
Gauge: 17 sts & 24 rows = 4" in stockinette
Finished Measurements: Circumference: 13 (15, 17, 19, 21)". Depth: 6 (7, 8 1/2", 9 1/2", 10 1/2" )"
Materials Used: In worsted to aran weight or 8-10 wpi yarn you will need approximately 95 (110, 130, 155, 180) yards.
