I'm welcoming the cooler weather here in the northern hemisphere with my new beret pattern, Clotilde. This charming hat features twisted-stitch cables that grow out of the brim's ribbing, diminishing to the top.
The pattern includes both charted and line-by-line instructions.
Finished Brim Circumference: 19 ½” / 50 cm.
Yarn: Approximately 275 yds / 250 m DK weight yarn
Sample used 2 skeins Green Mountain Spinnery Sylvan Spirit (50% wool, 50% Tencel; 180 yds / 165 m per 2 oz / 57 g skein) in Sterling.
Needles & Notions
Sizes 4 US / 3.5 mm and 6 US / 4 mm circular needles, 16” / 40 cm long
Size 6 US / 4 mm circular needles, 24” / 60 cm long (optional, for widest part of beret)
Size 6 / 4 mm double-pointed needles
Stitch marker
Gauge
22 sts and 48 rows = 4” / 10 cm over Twisted Rib pattern on size 4 US / 3.5 mm needles.
27 sts and 38 rows = 4” / 10 cm over chart pattern on size 6 US / 4 mm needles.
I love this new pattern! I can't wait to raid my stash for a nice DK for those fantastic cables.
