Construction
Chione is the greek godess for snow. As this hat is intended to be very warm and cosy while also giving an elegant feel to its wearer.
With your choice of yarn you can knit up a lighter hat with thinner yarn or a really warm one.

First you work the three-layered brim and then you go on knitting to the top part of the hat where you mix decreases and pleats to get a nice crown.
