The Vine Cloche Felted Hat is a modern cloche with a simple leaf and vine applique.  This hat is knit in the round, and then felted in a washing machine. The vine is a felted I-cord, and the leaves are cut from a fabric made from felted knitting. The appliques are attached post-felting with a sewing needle and transparent thread. Complete instructions are provided for making and sewing the appliques, and for felting the hat in a washing machine.

"I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. [The monthly] newsletter will answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want.   Thanks!" --Cindy
