Annecy Beret
Discover the charm of the Annecy Beret, a delightful accessory that beautifully combines style and comfort. This stunning knitted beret features a carefully crafted knitted hem that creates a sleek and firm brim, ensuring a snug fit. Its elegant diagonal lace pattern adds a generous amount of cushy texture, flowing in a chic spiraling design, making it a perfect addition to your cold-weather wardrobe. For optimal results, we recommend using an Aran-weight yarn, such as the Knit Picks City Tweed Aran/HW showcased here, which provides exceptional softness and warmth alongside a classic tweed aesthetic that enhances the overall look.
The Annecy Beret is thoughtfully designed to come in two sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit. It is key to wear the beret with at least 1-2” [2.5-5 cm] of negative ease in the brim for a flattering silhouette. The sample pictured is knitted in the larger size, showcasing its versatility and elegance.
