Edith

Edith began her project with a stunning skein of Metamorphosis from A Verb for Keeping Warm. The moment I laid eyes on this yarn, I was captivated by its rustic texture and the exquisite biscuit color, making it an ideal choice for a truly special creation. This gorgeous yarn has been transformed into a Faye Dunaway-inspired beret and cravat set that beautifully complements a fitted fall sweater or a chic winter coat. Whether you prefer a vintage aesthetic or a modern twist, there are two stylish options available for the beret: a lovely shallow style, as depicted, or a trendy slouchy fit for a more contemporary look.

SIZE
Hat: One size fits most adult heads at the brim, with options provided for both a shallow and a slouchy beret.
Cravat: Designed to fit neck sizes 13 (14, 15, 16, 17) inches, ensuring a comfortable and stylish accessory no matter your size.

MATERIALS
* You will need just 1 skein of A Verb for Keeping Warm Metamorphosis to create both the shallow hat and the cravat in all sizes. If you choose to make the slouchy hat and cravat, be aware that additional yarn will be necessary. The shallow hat is the style featured in the photos.
* Shallow Hat: 200 yards of A Verb for Keeping Warm Metamorphosis (70% Superwash Merino, 30% Silk; 385 yards per 115gm skein) is required, shown in the delightful colorway.
