A cozy, textured beret knit using worsted weight yarn is perfect for crisp autumn weather. The leaf motif knits up quickly and extra pattern repeats can be added for a slouchier look. The beautiful, rich color is reminiscent of vibrant fall leaves that float softly to the ground. The instructions are written and charted out.
