Sea Urchin cloche

Speaking of hats, this is one I'm working on currently. One of my friends said it reminds her of a sea urchin, hence the name.

It's going to be a cloche hat. I toyed with the idea of knitting a cabled band perpendicular to the body of the hat, then picking up stitches on the band and continuing the brim, but after doing this for a few inches I decided I hated the way it looked, so I'm just knitting the brim and will apply a band separately.
