Beret in many colours

Mar.24, 2010

I have created the beret in many colours.

I used 8 ply / Double knitting yarn on 4mm needles and knitted in the round. I have managed to use 9 different colours and yarns. There are two faux fur type yarns, one angora, one kid mohair and the rest are various wool yarns. I have used small amounts of each yarn mostly because they were short lengths left over from other projects. On some sections I changed the colours when the short length was used, and in others I have knitted a several rows and then changed colour when it felt right or looked right. The added bonus for this beret is that one of the yarns was variegated and that makes it look like I have used even more yarns. I love it and I hope you do too.

It does have the traditional nub on the top.

I hope you like it as well Jeanette.

The pattern will be on available as a PDF by the end of this week.

Hi Connie, the beret looks great and just what I have been looking for – you are very clever and insightful considering the information I gave you.
