This stylish beret design was inspired by Kristen's vision of a lace beret that eliminates the need for increasing or decreasing while maintaining a stunning lace pattern. She sought an easy-to-memorize pattern that not only looks beautiful but also provides excellent warmth. The crown of the beret is crafted sideways, incorporating short rows worked in Garter Stitch at the center. This technique enhances thickness, delivering extra warmth on chilly days. Simultaneously, a lovely lace panel is knit along the brim edge, creating a harmonious blend of texture and elegance. Once you complete six repeats of the lace pattern, the crown stitches are seamlessly joined into a circle, after which the brim stitches are picked up along one edge for a polished finish. **Finished Measurements:** - Brim circumference: 18 3/4 inches - Designed to be worn with negative ease; ideal for head circumferences up to 22 inches. **Materials Needed:** - 1 skein of Quince & Co. Osprey (100% American wool; approximately 170 yards per 100 g skein) Get ready to enhance your knitting skills with this exquisite Danbury beret pattern, perfect for both experienced knitters and those looking to build their lace-design confidence. This cozy and fashionable accessory makes for a great gift or a stylish treat for yourself. Start knitting today and embrace the joy of creating beautiful, functional knitwear!
