This simple beret happened quite by accident. The designers at Churchmouse were re-scaling their favorite beret in Shetland DK and it turned out comically large. "Hey," they thought, "might as well felt it!" The result was pretty cool. And remarkably soft after all the washing. This sparked another innovative idea and they tried it with a fingering weight wool. The result was a lightweight, lofty and not too warm beret! You can also view all Churchmouse Classics Patterns.

Fast project

This loop went together fast and easy right up to the grafting part for me. I'd never done it, now I know to leave those grafting weaves REALLY loose so you can go back and tighten them like a corset at the end. I used the Madelinetosh Prairie Yarn in Baltic. Its not a brushed or fuzzy yarn but it came out nice regardless. Can't wait to start more of these for Christmas gifts using a Mohair!
I really admire the ingenuity of the stitch change. It happens just when you pull it up on your head cuz you're getting colder! Mushishi evergreen- YUM!
I saw this scarf pattern and had to have it! I have it on the needles and cannot put it down! So much fun to see how the colors of the yarn interact with each other! This scarf will be a wonderful addition to my wardrobe!
I was so pleased by the quality of the paper the pattern was written on, the rich color, and clarity of the directions. It was wonderful in every way. Made me want to begin knitting immediately. Thanks.
