Belledonne mountain range forms the eastern wall of Grenoble.
To see the beauty of the mountains you need some snow. Snow covers all channels caused by erosion and shapes the relief with its steep slopes and summit areas. That gives essentially beauty to the mountains.

I wanted to transform this 3D relief into a hat pattern. The steep slopes and deep channels give the relief to this hat.

This hat is knitted in a round.

Pattern contains both written and charted instructions.
