This simple, urbane beret employs a DK-weight cashmere yarn knit down to a fingering weight gauge (a true fingering weight yarn can also be used for this pattern) creating a cozy, dense fabric that's soft on even the smoothest pate. The flattering shape looks great on men and women alike! You can also view all Churchmouse Classics Patterns.
The finished product was wonderful! I plan on making more for gifts for next year. I think it would be great to use up some of the leftover skeins of fingering yarn or maybe even sport yarn.
Both my mom and I knit this pattern. I've done socks before, and found the pattern extremely easy and pleasing. She's never knit socks, or with such small needles, but still found the pattern easy to follow.
