Carlotta Lace Beret
From pattern:
Look closely at the lace pattern on this beret, and you may see waterfalls, fountains, flowers, umbrellas, birds in flight…or whatever else your imagination can conjure. I used an organic wool yarn in a natural color, but yarn choice is another area where your imagination can run free: in the DK weight category, the possibilities are nearly endless! Just a few: Cascade Arcadia (80% cotton, 20% angora), Classic Elite Wool Bamboo (50% wool,50% bamboo), Filatura di Crosa Elen Cashmere (25% cashmere, 35% wool, 5% silk, 35% viscose), KnitPicks Swish DK (100% superwash wool), Rowan Purelife Cotton (100% organic Cotton) or Scottish Tweed (100% wool), Shibui Baby Alpaca DK (100% baby alpaca)….
Difficulty
Intermediate: skills required include knitting in the round and lace knitting. The beret is worked from the top down, with the option of beginning with Emily Ocker’s Cast On method, and directions are given in both charted and written form.
