The swirl shape was inspired by a pattern of an ancient Chinese eaves tile. I tried to mimic the look of it, and it turns out a good look as a beret.

This beret was worked in round and was designed with a super stretch brim to fit wider range of head circumferences. Written instructions and chart are included.

One size, will fit head circumference 54-56 cm
Finished diameter after blocking: 26 cm(10.5”)

靈感來自中國瓦當圖典上的漩渦造型，從兼具保暖與造型下手，雙層的帽沿可以不用擔心冷風灌進帽子中，戴起來也更加貼合舒適。

帽頂運用了針法變化，讓麻花有如漩渦旋轉的感覺。帽子運用針數變化調整鬆緊，故編織過程中不需另外換針。織圖細節稍多，為敘述式織圖，搭配表格編織，需要特別注意的部分，會在敘述中再重複提醒。
