Blue Beret
Finally posting photos of my newest finished knit. Last month the sale yarn at the Knit Shop was Louisa Harding Kashmir DK, a super-squishy merino/microfiber blend with a touch of cashmere. I bought 2 skeins to make CO some mitts for her birthday, but only used a tiny bit of the second skein, so I went back and snapped up a 3rd to make a floppy beret. I’d been seeing these hats around and decided I had to have one. Bonus: this yarn is my very favorite color – a rich, teal-blue.
I looked on Ravelry for free patterns and there were a lot but none of them were for DK weight yarn. I decided to just make up my own, since I have big head and I wanted the hat to really be floppy. I had a bit of trial and error to make it tall enough before decreasing, but once I got started on the final version I finished it off within a week. This is my first new hat in years – and I love it.
I have been looking for a floppy hat and couldn’t find one I like. I like this one A LOT! You know I had trouble making hat in correct size, do you have any tips for me how to do this one right?
P.S. I just signed up a Ravelry account and wow you have so many projects up there! Impressive!
