Knitted Beret
Posted By Kent Crafts on November 10, 2008
Now that we are fast approaching the winter months, all forms of hats and scarves are becoming increasingly popular – including the classic beret. This simple ladies beret is ideal for beginners, and can be knitted in a matter of hours. Using some brightly coloured wool, it will be enough to lift everyone’s day.
Our Beret is made from 100% wool and a few versions of this can be purchased from our online shop – the plum colour here, and a multi-colour one too.
