Last winter was the year of the scarf. This winter must be the year of the hats. I've been knitting hats like crazy lately...funny enough, none have been for me...yet! I usually do the typical ski cap, but recently my friend and co-worker Lisa challenged me to do a beret. And I'm glad she did. This pattern was full of firsts for me. One, I've never done a beret, so it was cool to see how it progressed. Two, I've never made baubles before, so that was fun...for a while. My fingers started to hurt about half way through. (Why not take a break, you ask? It's not in my knitting vocabulary). I think it turrned out really nice. And the yarn was Misti Alpaca Chunky...yum! I had extra yarn left, so I surprised her with a pair of mittens as well.

Beautiful! I hope to knit my first beret pattern soon too.
It's really not too hard. This pattern was a little tricky because of the baubles...the decreases for sure. But otherwise, a beret is just a bigger hat that needs to be blocked around a plate or something circular shaped.
