Buttercup Beret

When I saw this yarn, I knew it

needed to be a hat. From the ultra-

flattering buttery color to the slight

fuzzy halo of the wool to that perfect

sheen of silk, this is a yarn that looks

good near a face. But I had trouble

finding the perfect pattern for it:

not too big and floppy, with enough

texture to show off that color and

gloss. I created this beret pattern to

fit the bill. The shape is petite andsoftly rounded at the crown to hug

your head without being too slouchy.

They style is very easy to wear and

very useful for keeping your ears

warm.

F SizeOne size.

FMeasurementsFinished beret measures

PatternUsing smaller needles, CO 96 sts and distribute evenly across 4 needles. Place

marker and join, working 8 rounds in K1, P1 ribbing. Switch to larger needles.

Next round: K all sts, increasing 24 sts. evenly across round (120sts).

Next round: Begin chart, working rows as shown.

FinishingBreak yarn and pull through remaining 16 sts, removing them from the needle. Pull

the tail tightly to close the gap. With a tapestry needle, secure the tail on the WS by

threading through a loop 3-4 times. Weave in ends.

Wash gently in cool water, allowing to soak for at least 10 minutes. Squeeze out any

excess water, lay flat, and shape beret into a circle to dry.
