My daughter Amie loves berets and she is always asking me to design her one with pretty lace. I love Japanese Lace and this beret incorporates one of the prettiest lace designs that I have ever come across. Because the lace is worked in the round, it makes it quite easy to work this pattern.

I have included lace charts and stitch-by-stitch written out lace instructions in the pattern.

I hope that you will enjoy knitting this just as much as I have.
