Beretin' it up!

don't know why i love these hats so much.

pattern: jo sharp's beret pattern (this book is full of classic patterns with nice shapes that you could easily modify to suit your creative needs)

yarn: alchemy's tranformation in bronze.

notes: since i always knit in the round i think i may have messed up where the increases and decreases needed to line up. it puckers a little weird, but i still like it.

pattern: i vaguely used the same jo sharp beret pattern as above (but i also read the purl bee's rochefort chapeau for inspiration)

yarn: malabrigo worsted in paris night and rowan's silk wool dk in lime wash.

notes: i used stitch markers so the increases and decreases lined up and also made it about an inch longer.

ps-these photos suck. can you tell i'm greasy and sweaty since it's so freakin hot in echo park???

pps- i have buttons for sale and more yarn coming soon!
