Whether adventuring into the realms of the Fae folk or simply adventuring in your neighbourhood, a cosy beret is always a good idea.

Knit in soft, Australian-made yarn, Twists of Fae features a fun twisting cable pattern that can easily be worked without a cable needle.

A garter stitch brim gives a very stretchy, soft edging before the stitch pattern begins. The pattern repeat is easy to memorise and requires just the right amount of focus - a great project to wind down with as you work the easy twisted stitches.

Twists of Fae can be worn as a slouchy beanie, or blocked on a plate to form a classic beret shape.
