This simple, urbane beret employs a DK-weight cashmere yarn knit down to a fingering weight gauge (a true fingering weight yarn can also be used for this pattern) creating a cozy, dense fabric that's soft on even the smoothest pate. The flattering shape looks great on men and women alike! You can also view all Churchmouse Classics Patterns.
I knit English style, so this scarf took forever to do. But the colorwork was so much fun that I didn't mind. Great project to work on while you're chatting with friends (like, at knitting group ;->). Will be making more of these for gifts.
This is an easy pattern -- the only part that was a little tedious was casting on 648 stitches. Just make sure to use the markers ever 50 stitches as recommended. A scarf that is a little different!
