BÉRET BÉIRÍN
………………………………..

A classic garter stitch 
beret, featuring a compact silhouette and a hint of 1990s aesthetics. 



Simultaneously soft and structured, Béret Béirín is easy to incorporate into any style,
 be it casual or dressy, academic or bohemian, chaotic or tidy. It is an exceptionally 
 wearable beret, even for those who do not typically wear berets.

Designed originally for the unique boucle Varv yarn from Honer och Eir, Béret Béirín means teddy beret in Irish Gaelic.

The pattern has now been expanded with instructions for standards yarns ranging from sportweight to chunky.
