This is a great hat for winter and makes a fun gift.

Two ply is carried in our favorite yarns for felting this project: 2 skeins of Cascade 220 or 2 skeins of Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted.

Note: Since two strands of yarn are used, the gauge on the pattern is different from the suggested gauge on the yarn label.

Depending on how you block your finished project you can end up with a variety of styles: photos show a Fedora or Cloche.

Tonia Weber has taught many Felted Cloche classes as a second step knitting class at Wabi-Sabi in Ottawa and it has always been a big hit.

The increasing and decreasing become “washed out” and if you make a wee error remember… “a lot comes out in the wash”.

DO NOT USE SUPERWASH FOR THIS PROJECT!

Have fun felting!
