Much like the art of the Art Nouveau movement, the Nouverie Hat features sinuous lines and elegant embellishments. This hat, inspired by its sister pattern, the Nouverie Cowl, is knit from the brim up, in the round, and culminates into a decorative crown. Curvy lines are created by mini cables and then accented by small bobbles to add a little glitz as the Art Nouveau movement showcased. This pattern includes 5 sizes but offers flexible customization and crown styling. This hat is featured in Mitchell Wool Co Targhee Silk Sock; a non superwash airy & light fingering weight yarn that highlights the stitch definition and creates a beautiful drape.

This pattern has been tech edited & tested, has 10 pages including written & charted instructions, has 10 video tutorials, and provides modification guidance.
