Heathery shades of fingering weight yarn and classic patterning make this slightly slouchy beret comfortable and stylish. Inspired by the warm colors of autumn leaves, my version combines shades of brown, tan and gold with cooler shades of green, grey and blue.

It uses less than half a ball for the main color (MC) grey, and much smaller amounts--15 g (63 yds / 58 m) or less--of the other colors. The pattern includes both charted and completely written instructions. In addition, blank versions of the two hat charts have been included for ease in designing with your own color scheme.
