This delightful smocked beret is a versatile accessory that is completely reversible, offering two distinct and stylish finished looks. Crafted with an easy-to-memorize knitting pattern, this beret features a unique construction method that sets it apart from typical hat designs. The brim of the hat is initially knitted as a strip, which is then seamed together for added strength and style. Stitches for the body of the hat are picked up along the edge of the brim, allowing you to knit the hat from the bottom up for a beautifully tailored fit. You can further personalize this charming knit project with your choice of buttons, making each beret truly unique! The pattern has been designed to accommodate all sizes, and the sample shown is in Adult Small.
