Lakeway Beret is knit from the brim to the i-cord tippy top, with fair isle patterning along the way. The crown has beautiful patterning within wedge-shaped sections achieved by Centered Double Decreases. The flat aspect of the hat is produced by washing and blocking on a plate or flat disc of cardboard cut to size.

Great for using up your stash!

This pattern is graded using gauge differences. You may need a different needle size from suggested, depending on your tension.

Gauge Size 1:
26 sts and 28 rnds = 4x4in 10x10cm in Fair Isle pattern on larger needles to give correct gauge, after blocking.

Gauge Size 2:
24 sts and 26 rnds = 4x4in 10x10cm in Fair Isle pattern on larger needles to give correct gauge, after blocking.

Finished measurements
Brim depth 2 (2 1/2) in 5 (5.5) cm

Needles
For Size 1 16in 40cm circular needles in sizes US 1 2.25mm and US 2 2.75mm DPNs in size US 3 3.25mmf 4 or 5), or your preferred circular needles for working short circumferences in the rnd.
