After I finished the Winter Wedding Coat, I thought the bride needs something blue and a headgear. And what fits better than a Beret? Also knitted in the double knitting technique, it is reversible and so you can wear it as you please.

And it is a great way to use up your Winter Wedding Coat left overs.
