YAAC (Yet Another Cabled Cloche)*
I call this one Meandering Lattice:
Yarn: Noro Cash Iroha, 2 skeins. I lost the ball bands, so I can't remember what color it is, but it's eighty-something. Beige. Needles: Size 8, 16" Addi circular (used 2 circs for the crown). Gauge is not terribly crucial - the hat fits very loosely without the ribbon. Any yarn that knits up on a 7-9 needle is probably fine.
Pattern:
Cast on 120 sts. Work 9 rounds in k2, p2 rib, starting and ending with k1. Work eyelet round: *K1, p2, k2, p2, k1, p1, YO, k1, repeat from * around. Work Meandering Lattice pattern (see below) until hat measures 7" tall, then decrease. For the decreases, I just divided the sts into 10 groups of 12. Each round, I SSK'ed the first 2 sts of each group until there were 10 sts left, then closed it up. I'm using a ribbon to fit the hat, but I have 1/3 to 1/2 skein of yarn left, so I'm working on a Glaistig-style knitted band to use as an alternative. (Unlike the Glaistig, band, though, I am using double-knitting instead of ribbing, and I plan to use an actual button instead of a bobble.)
Meandering Lattice (round):
Worked over a multiple of 12 sts.
Rounds 1-3: K1, (p2, k2) to last 3 sts, p2, k1.
Round 4: *Sl 4 sts to cn and hold to front, (k1, p2, k1) from ln, (k1, p2, k1) from cn, (k1, p2, k1), repeat from * until you reach marker. Remove marker, k1, p2, k2, p1, replace marker. Round now begins at new marker position.
Rounds 5-8: P1, (k2, p2) to last 3 sts, k2, p1.
Round 9: *Sl 4 sts to cn and hold to front, (p1, k2, p1) from ln, (p1, k2, p1) from cn, (p1, k2, p1), repeat from * until you reach marker. Remove marker, p1, k2, p2, k1, replace marker. Round now begins at new marker position.
Round 10: Same as round 1.
Repeat rounds 1-10 for pattern.
Note that Meandering Lattice is reversible, so a matching scarf can be made. Here is the pattern (much easier, actually) for flat knitting:
Meandering Lattice (flat):
Worked over a multiple of 12 sts + 2.
Rows 1-4: K1, (p2, k2) to last st, p1.
Row 5: *Sl 4 sts to cn and hold to front, (k1, p2, k1) from ln, (k1, p2, k1) from cn, (k1, p2, k1), repeat from * until 2 sts remain, k1, p1.
Rpepeat rows 1-5 for pattern.
*This title is actually hilarious, if you happen to subscribe to the Nethack usenet group.
ETA: There is a mistake in the eyelet round of the pattern (thanks to the commenter who pointed this out!):
Instead of: *K1, p2, k2, p2, k1, p1, YO, k1, repeat from * around, the pattern should read: *K1, p2, k2, p2, k1, p1, YO, k2 tog, repeat from * around.

That's a gorgeous hat!! I'm gearing up to knit the Glaistig cloche with some stash Koigu and you go ahead and post another pattern. Jeez, thanks a lot.
I think the ribbon and your "bobbed" hair make it classic. And any pattern that says "Gauge is not terribly crucial" is my kind of pattern!
Quick question about the cabled cloche: I started knitting it up, and then I realized that on the eyelet row, if I followed the directions as is, I would end up with 132 stitches instead of 120. Then for decreasing (later in the pattern) you mention still having 120 (10 groups of 12). I'm confused! Can you help? I would love to have the hat done by Christmas, but I'm stuck!
Oops...
On the eyelet round, the YO, k1 should be YO, k2 tog. There should be 120 sts until the crown decreases start.
I knit this for my sister for xmas and it's a beautiful pattern. I knit it before you posted the correction and I didn't notice any big problems - at end I just had 11 groups of 12. I'll definitely knit another for me and I'll use your corrected instructions.
Your patterns are gorgeous! I am very interested in knitting this beautiful hat for a Christmas gift. I'm using a yarn with a gauge of 22/28: 4 inches
do you think that will work with your pattern as is, or will it require some tweaking on my part??
what first caught my eye is the "chanel looking" ribbon that i used to find on my mom's perfume when i was a kid on your cloche. where did you get it? hermes also does some of this ribbon.
one year after we got married i took out all the "signature ribbons" from the wedding gifts and that was my christmas tree decoration :)
have fun <3
I can't believe you added the correction as an "ETA" and didn't fix the original text. SMH.
Great post thaankyou
