Barcelola Cloche

*Introducing Barcelola Cloche—a modern cloche that’s chic and classy, making it the perfect hat for any outfit.

Knit from the top down, with german short rows to create the cloche shaping, Barcelola features a mosaic beaded band, and a two-layer short row brim that uses Lola’s Two-Timing Technique to avoid any seaming! +[media title][2] Pre-strung square Japanese beads in four harmonious colors dance along the band like Gaudí himself planned them.
