The Piper Cloche Hat is designed by Heidi May, “Inspired and crafted with my love of nature and the outdoors in mind, I always aim for comfort, warmth and versatility, timeless pieces that layer well and go with everything".
The pattern comes in 3 versions, for toddler (18-19” head circ.), child (20-21” head circ.) and adult (22-23” circ.).
DROPS Nepal is a lovely, chunky and luxurious yarn spun in 35% superfine alpaca and 65% Peruvian Highland wool, a mix that accentuates the softness of alpaca while the wool contributes to the garments’ shape stability. Both fibers are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fibers’ natural properties, providing also a better shape and texture qualities.
Spun from 3 strands, which gives an exciting and rustic stitch definition, DROPS Nepal is an easily knitted/crocheted quality which is also ideal for felting, resulting in garments that have an even and soft surface.
Select 2 balls of DROPS Nepal of your choice of shade, which is good for all sizes, and purchase the pattern at Ravelry! You may want to add 3 or 4 (adult size) buttons.
