FINALLY! After months of tinkering with the pattern and trying to come up with the worst pun I could (it does fit this lacy leaf pattern though), I’m finally publishing this pattern on my blog.

Here’s a link to the post where you’ll find the pattern.

It involves some lace work, yarn overs, double decreases, but fret not, hats are delightfully quick.

The pictures posted are of a slightly slouchy beret (using the size 9 needles on everything but the ribbed brim). If you’d like a more typical beret (ie, a circle), use the 10 1/2 needles.

Thanks a bunch and please let me know if you find any mistakes you’d like for me to fix.
