The cables on this brim follow though into the body where they mingle with a delicate leaf lace pattern creating an intricate and beautiful pattern. The deep brim enhances the slouch, and can be worked shorter for a beret finished if preferred. Hat Description Bellefleur is a slouchy beret with a repeating cable and lace pattern. The brim begins with ribbing interspersed with cables, which continue up the Hat’s body and converge at the crown. The beret’s body introduces a lace leaf motif, framed by eyelet columns that alternates with the cables. The crown shaping is incorporated into the pattern.
