DREAM IN COLOR “Calm” makes for an amazing knit, the color palette beautiful, each with with subtle variations in color. This one named after the lovely town of Interlaken in the Swiss Alps. Warm, stylish and convertible from cloche to slouch by turning it inside out! Treat yourself or the recipient with this soft cap that is luxurious and doubly warm.

This hat is made in two pieces. First the headband/brim is knit flat with a provisional cast on, then joined to create a headband. Stop here and enjoy a great earwarmer - or continue on to pickup and knit stitches for the hat body in a wide rib. The hat is worked in the round. Finish up the hat, turn up the brim and be warm while looking elegant. Wear with turned up brim or turn inside out and wear as a slouch hat! (see photos on last page) One size fits most.
