Close-Up of the Knit Beret
My mom wanted a lightweight wool hat, so I made this knitted beret from sport weight yarn. I used 100% Peruvian highland wool from Knitpicks in the Royal Heather color.
I had to make the entire thing on double pointed needles because I couldn't find a circular set in the correct size.
You can get the free pattern on Christianna's blog.
It starts out with a rib stitch for the edge, and then works upward in a sprinkle stitch, turning into all purl stitches in the center top.
I finished it in time for a gift on Chiristmas Day. Mom loves it!
