Beret Pattern in 8ply or Double Knitting yarn is on Etsy now

Apr.01, 2010

Three very different classic and elegant beret designs using one basic pattern with striped and intarsia options.

One colour and one yarn – this beret was created with Freedom Spirit yarn from Twilleys in England.

Intarsia Beret, basically stripes with some freeform additions. It will create a unique beret, using loved colours and yarns in small amounts and gives the opportunity to start to learn a new technique as well as using some textured or fancy yarns in small sections. A great stash buster design.

I have included with the pattern a basic instruction for knitting intarsia to encourage a knitter towards free form knitting. A small creation like a beret is the best for trying out a new technique.

The beret is knitted in the round from the k1 p1 rib band. Decreases are by purling stitches together to give the design that can be seen on the red beret. The beret does include an I cord nub. It can be finished without the nub if wished.
