Not all knit hats need to have the same shape! This jaunty beret has a playful silhouette and a highly-textured, geometric bloom adorning the crown.

Worked in the round from brim to crown, this hat uses twisted stitches, stockinette and reverse stockinette sections to create the floral motif. The increases and decreases are concentrated in six corners to create softly-shaped points to the edges of the beret. Brim is worked in twisted 1x1 Ribbing.
