Life is a Ca-beret

Introducing our stylish beret hat and matching cowl set that will effortlessly elevate your knitted accessories collection! This chic and sparkly ensemble not only looks fabulous but also embodies the perfect blend of comfort and fashion. The contrast rib detailing on the hat beautifully coordinates with the striking contrast lining of the cowl, creating a cohesive and trendy look. Adding to the charm, a unique travelling stitch winds diagonally around the cowl, cleverly echoing the decreases found in the crown shaping of the beret. Designed for intermediate knitters, this pattern embraces the magic loop method for knitting in the round, offering a rewarding challenge for those ready to level up their skills.

You will need: For the hat, gather 50g of Stylecraft Cabaret DK and 10g of Stylecraft Special DK; for the cowl, prepare 50g of Stylecraft Cabaret DK alongside 40g of Stylecraft Special DK. Ensure you have circular knitting needles in sizes 3.5mm and 4mm, with a length of at least 80cm for the magic loop method—however, if you prefer, a 4mm/40cm circular needle is suitable for the cowl. Don’t forget essential tools like stitch markers, a tapestry needle for sewing in the ends, and a pair of scissors.

Tension & Size: This beautiful pattern has a tension of 21 stitches x 29 rows, equating to a 10cm x 10cm square in plain stockinette stitch. The pattern is tailored for one adult size, making it a versatile addition to your winter wardrobe.
