Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Worsted in Holly Hock

 

 Ooooh, look at all the lovely colors!

 

 This is the first beret I've ever made. I blocked it over a dinner plate as directed and I expected it to be more slouchy, but I suppose it is a true beret shape. It's so soft and I just absolutely LOVE the color. All the different textures made the pattern fun to knit, and I found the design to be quite clever.

 

I think I'll get lots of use out of my new hat in the fall and winter to walk Conan or go to the store, especially since it's loose enough that it doesn't completely wreck my hair. This hat is so pretty that maybe I'll actually look forward to getting bundled up! (Eh... that's probably too much to hope for!)
