Calico Rolled Brim Cloche

Calico “multi-colored or mottled animal (cat); also means a tightly woven cotton cloth having a repeating (often floral) design.” 

This unique vintage-inspired cloche features a rolled brim and bell shaped structure. It is a wonderful introduction to simple color-work for beginner knitters using only one colored yarn at one time! It is also a great project for experimenting with colors! Great for newbie knitters wanting to progress and for experienced knitters wanting a breezy knit. 

The sample was knitted with a tonal yarn as the main color and a hand-painted yarn as the contrasting color. You can combine a tonal/ hand-painted color with a solid color or even two solid colors together, Either way, you are sure  to have a fun color adventure with this project!
