Isn't this the cutest little thing you can put on top of a beret? I love it.
This is the Tweed Beret from Interweave Knits, Winter 2006. I skipped the red version and went straight to the misty grey, which the magazine recommended for "days when you're feeling serious". Germans always feel serious... see?!
The tweed I used looks nice but ITCHES, so I made a second one, using two strands of fingering weight charcoal merino yarn and some black/white sock wool I had at hand... I made the section beneath the decrease rounds longer and knitted a turning round of purled stitches and a hem facing like the Hourglass Sweater has.
That version caught my sweet girl's attention but also itches. So I am making a third one, using an alpaca blend.
And a fourth one in pink merino, as requested.
Till later!
