Design specifications
This beret is designed to form a matching set with the gloves, I designed earlier. The beret is worked in the round, bottom up. The brim begins and ends with Latvian braid. The middle part of the brim has a pattern in stranded colorwork with motifs from the Estonian island Muhu. The top of the beret consists of 7 textural cable motifs. Those motifs are borrowed from the sweater Gina (by Berroco) and adjusted to be used as a segment in a beret.
