Surrounded by all the pastries, cakes, and cookies of the season, I was attracted to something on the lighter side, Poires Belle Helene. On chilly winter afternoon sitting at your favourite cafe, how can you not feel at peace with warm pears, chocolate, and a hat to match!

This is a bulky hat knit in the round with a few cables and textured sts. It is a relatively quick and simple knit with pretty detail, very much like the dessert it is named after.
