Pick the size closest to your head circumference minus 4 in / 10 cm.
Yarn
2 skeins of Wildflower Yarn by Knit Collage in either Sage Green or Tart Orange, or 100 (120) yds / 91.5(110) m of super bulky ribbon cotton yarn.

Stitch holder or scrap yarn for holding stitches
8(10) stitch markers

Safety pins (at least 2)
Construction
This bottom up seamless cloche begins with knitting the sideways brim flat. The brim is then twisted twice before stitches are picked up along the brim edge. The hat is then continued in the round and is finished with spiral crown decreases.
