New and Improved! This is a complete update and re-write of the original Diamonds in the Rough hat.

The elegant cloche hat features a cabled band with rolled edge. The cabled section is knit flat seamlessly grafted together. The hat body is picked up from the band and knit in the round.

Finish with an optional purchased pom pom and you will be sure to shine!

Bulky-weight version also available! Big Diamonds in the Rough

The pattern features both charted and written instructions, along with a schematic.

Skills needed:

  • provisional cast on
  • some familiarity with cables
  • knitting in the round
