Nola, which is Latin for bell (cloche is French for bell...so I copied), starts with the twisted brim, which is knit flat and includes one cable row. From there, the two ends of the brim are either seamed or grafted and stitches for the body of the hat are picked up from the edge. Spiral decreases finish the top of the crown.
