Sestra

Inside the Designer’s MindCreating a classic and timeless beret that is both easy to knit and visually captivating has always been my goal. With the SESTRA beret pattern, I've achieved just that! This elegant beret features a beautiful combination of classic 3/3 cables weaving through a rich, textured moss stitch. The contrasting elements create a sophisticated accessory that not only stands out but is also easy to style, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or adding a chic touch to your everyday outfit, SESTRA is the perfect versatile piece.

MaterialsTo knit the SESTRA beret, you will need approximately 80 g (144m or 158 yards) of light worsted weight yarn, preferably 100% Merino wool, which comes in 50g balls (90m or 98.4 yards each) for optimal quality and comfort.

NeedlesFor this project, gather the following needles: US 5/3.75mm, 50cm circular needle (ideal for those using the 1x1 long-tail tubular cast-on method); US 6/4.0mm and US 7/4.5mm, both also 50cm circular needles; and a set of US 7/4.5mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) or an 80cm (or longer) circular needle for the magic loop technique.

GaugeAchieve a gauge of 16 stitches and 32 rows, which equals 10cm (4 inches) in moss stitch, using US 7/4.5mm needles after blocking to ensure your beret fits perfectly.

NotionsTo complete your SESTRA beret, you will need several notions: a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, a cable needle for easy manipulation of the cable stitches, and a tapestry needle for final weaving in of ends and securing your work.

Skill LevelThis pattern is suitable for beginner knitters. With its straightforward construction and engaging stitch work, the SESTRA beret is an excellent project for those looking to build their skills while creating a stunning accessory.
