Spectacle
Discontinued.
This digital pattern is no longer available online.
I never know when I might find inspiration. In the case of Spectacle Beret, inspiration came when I went to a vintage store and spotted a mid-century modern piece of furniture followed by a perusal of one of my favorite home magazine.
This beret is worked from the bottom up with a corrugated brim. The patterning is achieved though the stranded colorwork technique.
Currently, the pattern is only available through your LYS through Bijou Basin Ranch, or you can purchase a pdf pattern from their site.
Pattern help available in Crafty Diversions group.
