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.
I loved making this shawl, and I enjoyed the process of choosing colors and row counts. I did use Jul Designs fasteners rather than stitching the shoulder seam. I also made my project a little larger by about 10 inches. The big surprise was my 30 year old niece modeling it at Easter when we all got together and then styling it on my 85 year old mother. It also looks great on my taller sister, but I think it looks best on ME!
