Highlights
Champlain Daze Beret symbolizes bewilderment and mystification of Lake Champlain’s seasonal transformation that makes one yearn for successive change and the activities that await. Champlain Daze Beret is knit in the round using up to two colors at a time. The traditional Fair Isle design uses decreases to yield an 8-pointed starburst framed by 8 diamonds on the crown. The Beret includes directions for a 3-Color and 7-Color version. Both charts and written directions are provided.

Skills
Work in the round, knit, purl, two stranded color work and decrease stitches using k2tog and ssk.
